Press Reviews

"A first-rate thriller."
— London Free Press

"Peter Colley’s roller-coaster play contains the kind of stomach-dropping twists that will make you hoot with laughter even as you clutch your theater companion’s sleeve.There's something scratching at the window behind those dusty draperies, and finding out what horror lurks is all part of this entertaining production’s fun."
— Los Angeles Times

"No amount of praise seems excessive... you’ll either be shivering in your seat or rolling out of it with laughter."
— New York Theatre Voice

"This suspense-filled play is likely to be the season’s most entertaining production."
— London Gazette

"Wonderfully spooky... somewhere between an Agatha Christie mystery and a Hitchcock thriller. Peter Colley sends up the haunted house bit with witty dialogue and at the next moment interrupts the audience’s laughter with a good, heart-thumping scare... a really good ghost story."
— Toronto Globe and Mail
