An actor shows up late to a recording studio, is handed a ghost story to narrate, and the booth starts to answer back. Every audience member wears headphones with binaural sound, so the whispers feel like they are right behind you. With Owen Campbell and The Gilded Age's Harry Richardson, it is the smartest scare in town for October.
What to expect
Expect a tense play in a small Greenwich Village theatre where everyone listens through headphones as the actors perform on stage. The sound design does much of the work, moving voices and noises around your head.
