But as the line blurs between virtual and reality, both parents and players realize that fear has a life of its own.
Press Reviews
"Playing like a nifty episode of The Twilight Zone, the story builds to an affectingly gruesome finale [...] with its small-scale tech demands and four-person ensemble, Neighborhood seems a likely candidate for legit troupes hoping to benefit from the play’s youthful, tech-savvy appeal."
— Variety
"When our player pounds on the video door, and we hear the bang on his own front door, it’s genuinely, brilliantly chilling."
— The Denver Post
"Haley’s suspenseful play beamed cautionary messages about inattentive parents of teenagers addicted to online video games. A sense of unease about the diminishing line between real life and virtual reality lingered for days after the suburban zombies in Neighborhood 3 were vanquished with weed whackers and hedge clippers."
— Louisville Courier-Journal
