"More spine tingling than Deathtrap. My ears still ring form the screams of the girls behind me." writes McKenzie Porter of The Toronto Sun.

The plot centers on a husband and wife. Jan, who's recovering from a nervous disorder. They rent a remote cabin from an odd farmer who delights in telling gruesome ghost stories. Then the husband's sister arrives, and all manner of frightening events occur. What happens to the fragile wife as bodies appear and disappear give this classic thriller its tremendously frightening impact.

"It's a first rate thriller." - London Free Press

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

"No amount of praise seems excessive."-- New York Theatre

"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 audiences laughter with a good, heartthumping scare...a really good ghost story."-- Toronto Globe and Mail.
