Part of why the elements of horror and nightmare work so well in Debra A. Cole's "Dream House" is that everything about the play is couched so snugly in the banalities of real life. Nevertheless, the young couple's plight is very similar to a fairy tale, in which a mundane walk through the woods (or the park) is interrupted by the encounter of a real and formidable monster. And I do not use the word "real" lightly. Highly recommended!!
