And if you believe, she can make you hear them, too - in the thin place, the fragile boundary between our world and the other one. One leading actor, Linda, “can communicate with them. “Everyone who ever died is still here, just in a different part of here” began a description of the play’s New York City opening in 2019 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre. Other performances are on Tuesday, Oct 7, Thursday, Oct 9, and Friday, Oct 10 at 7:30 pm.
Opening on a Sunday matinee, November 5th at 2:00 pm, the play runs for only five performances, through Sundat matinee, November 12th. “The Thin Place” by Lucas Hnath, one of the most adventurous American playwrights working today, tests the occult waters in this eerily gripping play.
