I had the pleasure of seeing this play last year in Northern California, and then read the script just for fun. Both are equally entertaining experiences. This is a satisfying blend of astute literary homage and pleasantly-thrilling ghost-focused storytelling, with loads of heart and some very clever word play.
Though I suppose this might play better at Halloween then at other times, I have to point out that indelible storytelling such as this, whether based on Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King, Shirley Jackson or Washington Irving, tends to be popular all year long.
