A Haunted House is a comedy mime horror built around clowning, physical performance and audience interaction. Unfortunately, the miming is very poor, and the clowning is awkward.
There is lots of audience interaction, but the attempts do not seem to be particularly successful, and the production never finds a convincing comic rhythm. The basic idea is well-meaning, but there is very little else to hold onto when the physical comedy does not work.
Runs daily at 7:45pm.

Production DescriptionMime, clowning and slapstick create a spooky-house story involving vignettes, time loops, murder, memory loss and dancing zombies, deliberately combining horror with physical-comedy traditions.
