In 1884, following the death of her husband and child, Sarah Winchester purchased an unfinished farmhouse in Northern California. And then she started building: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for 38 years. The resulting mansion is known as the Winchester Mystery House -- one of the most haunted houses in America and one of the state's most popular tourist attractions.
This is a play about that house – An enigmatic yet lighthearted tale of spirits, grief and obsession
