Best horror play I’ve ever read. It reminds me of a Fact or Fiction episode gone wrong

A chilling series of ghost stories culminating in a structural inversion that intended to surprise and horrify. I’m sure it was more successful on stage, but the horror didn’t pop on the page.
I’m becoming increasingly less impressed with horror (movies, plays, novels, etc.) that relies on disabled or elderly people to be spooky. This play depends on comas and even a series of birth defects to build suspense.
Even one of my favorite films, The Babadook, relies on elderly people and dementia to increase dread, and I’m beginning to understand how that’s a lazy choice.

My husband saw this in London in 2009 and we have been waiting for the script to be published. This was so worth the wait. I am not super into scary things or horror, but I LOVE horror onstage. This show is brilliant. I wish I could see it live and enjoy all of the elements in person.
Just excellent.
Just excellent.

This is actually the first play I have read and I really enjoyed it. As said in the introduction, horror plays aren't very common, so I really appreciate Dyson and Nyman for creating this. I have a lot of questions as to how the stories are played out on stage, I was a bit confused with regards to that so I really hope I get to see this play in real life. My favourite part was the last quarter of the play, where there's a lot of action. Reading it was unsettling so I'm sure I'd be scared out of my wits seeing this on stage.
