'A Haunted House!' is a hysterical, terrifying and surreal tale about one hair-raising night in a haunted house. Performing as a cast of multiple characters and merging mime, physical comedy and sound design, this is a must for fans of physical comedy and horror.
Through inventive storytelling in which Visual Vernacular, audio soundscapes and even time itself, collides in unexpected and spine chilling ways, "A Haunted House!" is an absurd homage to all things horror. Hilarious, horrifying, and truly mind-bending, it's as if Jacque Tati ended up in the "Saw" franchise, this funfair ghost train has to be seen to be believed.
