A Ghostly Gig Gone Wrong: ThickSkin's Haunting Delight
In a darkly comedic twist, an out-of-work actor, Joe (George Naylor), agrees to play the part of a ghost for a week at the eerie Paragon Hall. The pay is too good to pass up, and Joe sees it as a chance to settle his debts. However, as he begins his haunting duties, Joe starts to wonder if he's truly alone in circling the grounds – or if there's another ghostly presence lurking about.
ThickSkin's production masterfully blends Gothic atmosphere with modern horror movie jump scares, creating a spine-tingling experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The storytelling is largely conveyed through Joe's narration, which provides atmospheric and poignant insights into the world of ghosts. Paul Hilton's omniscient narration adds to the eerie ambiance.
Deftly directed by Neil Bettles, the show features clever sound design, lighting, and projection effects that will have you wincing at the jump scares. From creepy somnambulism to a scuttling creature in Joe's room, the tension builds with each passing moment.
However, the plot becomes increasingly convoluted as multiple storylines unfold – David (the handsome stranger who hired Joe), his ex-boyfriend, and an ex-girlfriend all add to the chaos. The supernatural "hurt" that drives the ghosts is never fully explored, leaving some themes feeling underdeveloped.
Despite this, ThickSkin's production delivers on its promise of thrills and spills, delivering a haunting experience that lingers long after the curtain falls. If you're in for a good scare, look no further than Paragon Hall – just be prepared to unpack the tangled plot threads.

I gotta say, I was thoroughly entertained by this Ghostly Gig... until it got all convoluted 
! I mean, who doesn't love a good jump scare? But seriously, the sound design and lighting effects were on point 
, they really added to the spooky atmosphere. I loved how the narration created these eerie vibes, but yeah, the plot was like trying to untangle spaghetti 
... it got messy! Still, if you're in the mood for some serious thrills and chills, this one's worth checking out 
. But omg, the plot got super convoluted, like what was up with all those storylines? 
. Still though, ThickSkin's production masterfully blended the Gothic and modern horror elements to create a spine-tingling experience 
. If you're into jump scares and thrills, this show is def worth checking out... just be prepared for some plot holes 
.
. It's like, you want to scream "help!" when the plot gets all tangled and confusing
