Review: IVORIES, Old Red Lion Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jul 4, 2025
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that bisexuals are often underserved when it comes to theatre and media. Poltergeist thriller Ivories valiantly sweeps in at the close of Pride Month, but it over-promises and under-delivers. Beyond the messy and exceedingly protracted set-up, lies a great story that will delight all queer fans of the genre. After all, an eerie old house, a dying grandmother, and a bunch of secrets bound for the grave are the bones of any good spooky summer horror.
