From the theatre company that brought you Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and from the director of She Kills Monsters and The Minotaur, comes Rorschach Theatre’s latest theatre event, Very Still & Hard to See – a darkly funny mash up of Japanese ghost stories, Twilight Zone mystery and Stephen King horror.
Buck Mason is a talented young architect with a terrible secret. When he awakens dark forces slumbering beneath his latest construction project, he strikes a deal that will forever curse this grand hotel by the sea and all those who walk through its doors. For decades, unsuspecting guests encounter an evil that finds their darkest places and holds on to them: they are possessed by angry spirits; they are pulled into bottomless holes; they witness giant sea monsters emerge from the dark water below; and they meet new lovers who may or may not be trying to eat them. The strange encounters grow until at last it becomes clear: sometimes bad things do happen for a reason.
“A magnificent and utterly riveting production.”
