My overall impression
A HAUNTING REVUE is a collection of three Twilight Zone-style vignettes, interestingly all having to do with inheritance of some kind—whether that’s from family, colleagues, or friends.
My personal favorite vignette was The Inheritance of Dracula, supported by very believable actors that fit naturally in the world.
There was also some striking physicality and action in the third act that was unusual and impressive.
A solid 15-20 minutes of dead air could be chopped from this show and it would immediately be a better experience for everyone involved. With that pacing, I was wondering at points if the show had a director at all.
Overall, I did leave the theater with that classic liminal feeling: for a moment alien in my own reality, the familiar struck like a gong and reverberating a disturbed kind of distance.
