Called by NYTheatre "A taut and gripping contemporary techno-thriller" this is a show not to be missed. First a man loses the cell phone with his dead sister's voice, leading to a strange woman answering it, and finally to spam-spouting eskimos. Dark, Chilling and wonderful! WHAT:, The Private Lives of Eskimos (or 16 Words for Snow) WHEN: March 19 - April 17 Thu.- Sat. @ 7:30 / Sun. @ 4pm The Woman in BlackCalled the most terrifying live theater experience in the world Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's novel has been packing theaters on two continents for years.This thriller is the eerie story of a solicitor sent to a remote house on the dank English marshes. There he attempts to settle the affairs of its late owner, a lone and shunned old woman. The locals believe the house is cursed, and the initially skeptical young man soon finds himself confronting the grim echoes of its blighted past and the terrible spectre that haunts it. Utilizing style and theatricality to tell a story at once both simple and horrifying, this is a play that cannot soon be forgotten. You will sleep with the light on for months after encountering The Woman in Black.
