Teller and Todd Robbins invite Death out to play in PLAY DEAD, a new hilarious and spirit-shaking Off-Broadway show inspired by "Midnight Spook Shows," an American institution from the 1930s to the 1970s. As the guide for the evening, Robbins draws audiences into an unknown haunted world full of frightful surprises and diabolical laughter. Although very much a theatrical work, it is hardly a typical "play," but rather a fun, irresistible thriller - here and now in an "abandoned" theater, illuminated by a single ghostlight - in which audiences face their fears while being surrounded by ethereal sights, sounds and even touches of the returning dead - all achieved by wry, ingenious storytelling and uncanny, awe-inspiring stage illusions. Time Out New York was right in saying that a night at PLAY DEAD is a "great date."
