WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S HAUNTED HOUSE
See PHOTOS of William Shakespeare's Haunted House and William Shakespeare's Haunted Ship "If he thought parting was sweet sorrow, just wait'll he experiences the tragedy of being reunited. The Bard is back, as he must confront the ghosts of his literary past- including Macbeth, the Witches, Richard III, Hamlet's Ghost, and Caliban- as guests enjoy a uniquely interactive Shakespearean scare presented by The Faux-Real Theatre Co."
"The experience gave a whole new meaning to lines like 'Let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood.' My 4 year-old son loved it."
"This annual, ghoulish fright-night event scares up fun for kids and adults. Plus, it's educational -- now that's really scary!"
"In Shakespeare's Haunted House, Faux-Reale's annual Halloween show, all the scariest scenes from Shakespeare (the ones with ghosts, monsters, witches, and murderers) are re-created by the troupe, with the audience passing through them. The operative word at these productions is "carnival." They're a kind of medieval marketplace, where any second a new and bawdy surprise might pop up." (Click here for complete text.)
"Whether it's Ophelia from 'Hamlet' in a show-stopping dead faint, the Third Witch from 'Macbeth' with eyes demonically engorged, or Richard III in the tragic throes, the actors are almost frighteninly possessed by real and impressive powers of concentration."

THE TINDERBOX
See PHOTOS of The Tinderbox "Some of the most tireless revelers in Manhattan playgrounds this summer aren't children. But they do zoom down slides, climb on monkey bars and yell at the top of their lungs...And the troupe seems really magical: how else to explain its ability to earn children's rapt attention in the midst of a playground? "
GREENSNAKE "There's no doubt that this comic concoction is first-class fun."
