A hauntingly good stage adaptation

The Ambassadors Theatre’s intimate setting works well for this type of claustrophobic horror. Fly Davis’s two-storey set design of the couple’s home is realistic and intricately detailed. You can’t help but scan every corner for something lurking. The production opts for a slow-burn, with suspense building through prolonged silences and creeping shadows. Chris Fisher brings masterful illusion tricks that leave the audience audibly gasping. Their execution is expertly managed in conjunction with Anna Watson’s lighting design and Gareth Fry’s intense sound design, which heighten our sense of unease.
