    Eerie setup and pacing makes the short ghost story stand out. If a door slammed while I was reading I would absolutely have jumped!

    Beautifully crafted ghost story with a chilling ending that is deserving of gasps. I am a ghost story fanatic and this short play checks all the boxes. But on top of ghost storytelling, there are precise social issues layered into the overall dread of the piece.

    Annie Considine's "Doors" is a short mystery/horror play. Things start off mysteriously and only get more mysterious as we move on. Some questions are answered but the answers only lead to more questions. The fact that by the end I was wanting to read a scene 2 shows that the play hits its mark. I will have to read more of this playwright's work.
