REVIEWS & PRESS

“A haunting production that takes terrific advantage of Jeffrey Hatcher’s spare adaptation . . . an imaginative alternative to traditional theater. And it will encourage you to steer clear of shadows.” – The Boston Globe

“Director M. Bevin O’Gara and Lighting Designer Ian King create a creepy atmosphere, masterfully ratcheting up the tension and suspense . . . Whether or not you believe in ghosts, the spellbinding performances will scare the bejeezers out of you.” – Broadway World

“A wonderfully eerie experience. Seldom is theater so close-up and chillingly personal. [Director] M. Bevin O’Gara… tackles this famous ghost tale with her typical ingenuity . . . it is engrossing theater for the discriminating theatergoer.” – South Shore Critic
