‘Play Dead’ for the Holidays

Looking for ideas for your holiday trip this year? Why not head out east to New York and catch a new Off-Broadway show! Teller and Todd Robbins invite Death out to play in Play Dead, a new spirit-shaking Off-Broadway show that explores themes of death, darkness and deception.

As the guide for the evening, Todd 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 dramatic, unnerving thriller – here and now in an “abandoned” theater, illuminated by a single ghostlight – in which audiences test their nerves and face their fears as they are surrounded by ethereal sights, sounds and even touches of the returning dead – all achieved by wry, suspenseful storytelling and uncanny stage illusions.

Play Dead features scenic design by David Korins, lighting design by Thom Weaver and sound design by Leon Rothenberg. Original music is by Gary Stockdale and the Associate Director is Jim Millan.
