New Psychological Thriller 'Grey House' Aims to Shock on Broadway

The play was originally created for A Red Orchid Theatre in Chicago but now has a Broadway production directed by Joe Mantello.
The play requires deep engagement from the cast and audience to confront humanity's inner darkness and the factors that enable it.
Reviewers found the play aspired to be a shocking psychological thriller exploring themes of childhood, loss, and abuse.
The play was compared to episodes of The Twilight Zone and ultimately was found irritating rather than thrilling, with a confusing ending.
The Broadway production stars Laurie Metcalf and serves up frights but lacks a compelling message, according to reviewers.
