Stephen King’s classic novel Carrie is the latest horror-themed stage show to come from Dark Psychic Productions – and it’s being brought to life as a musical.

Directed by Ryan S. McNally at Phoenix Theatre, the story follows town misfit Carrie White, bullied by the popular crowd while remaining virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she is at the mercy of her over-protective and abusive mother – but Carrie soon discovers with her coming-of-age that she has telekinetic powers. So when humiliated by her classmates at the high school prom, she wreaks havoc on everyone and everything in her path.
