Howard Miller takes a look at Grey House at the Lyceum Theatre:
There are lots of appropriate adjectives to describe Levi Holloway's ghostly play Grey House, opening tonight at the Lyceum Theatre. Among these are "eerie," "mysterious," and sometimes even "creepy." But if you seeking an experience aimed at scaring you out of your skin, you could be disappointed. This is a different sort of excursion into the otherworldly, one that borrows tropes from the usual suspects of fright flicks and then shunts them aside for a more cerebral take. Less Stephen King and more Henry James, or possibly the filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. |
