Director Martin Constantine has brought the haunted house storyline to another level with the illusions of the staging and the ghostly encounters that play in the minds of the group of ghost hunters.

★★★★★ Theatre, Art and Film Reviews

The illusions, alongside exceptional projection design, lighting and staging, helped create one of the most immersive and unsettling theatrical experiences I have seen in recent years… What could easily have become a simple haunted house story instead became an exploration of memory, loss and the burdens people carry with them… It was visually breathtaking and emotionally satisfying in equal measure… a haunting experience that lingers long after leaving the theatre — as emotionally affecting as it is technically dazzling.

★★★★★ In Common

 

Ominous, engrossing and chilling.

★★★★ Experience Salisbury

 

Martin Constantine directs this company of actors with regard to the epic quality one might see in opera… The pace of each scene is just right. We become a thoroughly and thrillingly manipulated audience… This production is a tour de force of theatrical collaboration at its best. I didn’t think it possible for a play to be so utterly terrifying.

Southern Arts Reviews

 

Martin Constantine directs it, and his work with the script and actors has produced a fantastic production… I felt completely absorbed by the world the production created.
