Atmospheric. Mysterious. The Get-Together crawls under your skin and stays there. Lives there. This play relies so much on sound in the best possible way. I wish there were a way to watch it with headphones on to truly feel the effect; HP Lovecraft channeled through William Castle. Truly glorious!

I read this twice, the second time seemed so different to the first. I will explain. I read it first as a stage play, visually gruesome, tense, fierce. Secondly, I read it as a radio play, it became all the more terrifying, surreal yet horribly real. Many of Loras' lines are voiceovers, which makes this a clever stage and audio play in one. Producers will have a fun challenge to stage this!

Whoa! Sound is used to maximum effect in this short, scary play. Being given gruesome and ominous sounds, and allowing the audience's imagination to do the rest of the work, is a very successful way to do horror on stage. Even the jazz music was scary by the end - and the silence was maybe scariest of all. I loved how invested this play made me, even though not a lot of background information is given to understand the very bizarre things going on. They say show us rather than tell us, but this play actually makes you FEEL it.
