Laura then went on to share some BTS action on her Instagram stories, showing her makeup transformation to get into the character of Jenny.
When the show was over and the curtain was drawn Laura posted to again to say how well opening night went for the cast and crew.
“Just a little appreciation post to say that was one of the best experiences of my life!!” she wrote.
Running for a limited time in London, the play’s synopsis reads:
“Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again?
“Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer. So they’re going to stay up until 2:22….and then they’ll know.”
