A Haunted House

Recommended by

  • Soren Chirhart: A Haunted House

    This play is a brilliant exploration of what it means to be haunted. Is it the supernatural ghosts that wander the old house of a late mother? Or is it family history and horrifying secrets that keep us lost in the past? The relationship between the sisters is enhanced and amplified by the glimpses of their past, brining an engaging flow. A script that will leave you thinking, and perhaps haunted yourself.

    A play that shows some of the most frightening things are not supernatural, though there is definitely a ghostly vibe through the entire play. The characters are distinct, the dialogue flows beautifully, and the playwright sets things up that pay off much later, lending a sure hand to this fantastic tale of the spooky family past.

    "A Haunted House" is a taut, disturbing drama about real-life monsters and the ghosts that occupy the living. I loved not only the relationship among the three sisters but the way that relationship mutated over the course of the play.
    This would make for a terrific night of scary and thought-provoking theater. It has great roles for actresses and set designers (not to mention sound designers).
