A Ghost in Your Ear

October 30, 2026

While Jamie Armitage’s "A Ghost in Your Ear" is only intermittently scary (though those scares are worth the price of admission,) it is a chilling ghost story expertly told. Both written and directed by the British Armitage (who also staged both the musical "Six" and David Hare’s "Straight Line Crazy" in New York), this is a collaboration with remarkable sound designers Ben and Max Ringham (the Tony Award nominated "Prima Facie" and "A Doll’s House," as well as "Waiting for Godot" and "Cyrano de Bergerac" in New York). Owen Campbell and Lucas Iverson, the two-member cast, keep your attention riveted to the story being told as well as lighting designer Ben Jacobs who keeps dimming the lights to create a very spooky environment.

Hangmen

April 29, 2022

Taking the law into your own hands can be a risky business as Harry Wade and friends find out in Martin McDonagh’s hilarious dark comedy "Hangmen" which finally made its Broadway debut after being delayed two years by the pandemic. The cast of this Royal Court Theatre/Atlantic Theater Company production is somewhat different from the one that debuted Off Broadway in 2018 with four members of the original 11 person company remaining. British film star David Threlfall who made his New York stage debut in 1980 in his Tony Award nominated performance as “Smike” in "Nicholas Nickleby" returns to Broadway for the first time since 1997 in the leading role as Harry, the second most famous hangman in the United Kingdom.

The sense of good, old-fashioned suspense is heightened by director Matthew Dunster, who also helps delineate the spot-on performances by the four remaining cast members--and regulars at Harry’s pub, with distinctive personalities--Billy Carter, Richard Hollis, John Horton, and David Lansbury. And then there’s the ongoing rain and lightning--with marvelous effects by Ian Dickinson for Autograph, for sound, and Joshua Carr, for lighting. Together, they add significantly to the scare factor of the evening. [more]

Indian Summer

June 14, 2016

Gregory S. Moss’ "Indian Summer" at Playwrights Horizons is an uneasy mix of two stories, the first about the doomed romantic encounter between two teens and the second concerning the quiet existential suffering of an elderly man. Despite sudden shifts of tone, Moss manages to leave the audience feeling deeply for each of these characters. [more]
