'Grey House' on Broadway: A Hauntingly Fun Guilty Pleasure

"Grey House," a new play about a sisterhood of sorrows, brings something scary to the stage, but is delivering shocks and icks enough? The play is certainly an in-your-face assault, more in the manner of John Carpenter movies than anything seen onstage since the age of melodrama. It is so expertly assembled from spare parts by the playwright Levi Holloway and the director Joe Mantello that you may not notice, between the jump scares and the shivery pauses, how little it has on its mind.
