The show is called "Play Dead," created by Todd Robbins ("Carnival Knowledge") and Teller (of Penn & Teller), opening Off Broadway in New York in November 2010. It’s produced by Alan Schuster ("Stomp"),Cheryl Wiesenfeld ( Steady Rain), and Frank Gero (Steady Rain).

The show is a thriller, a nerve-shattering mood piece, full of shrieks and nervous laughter as the audience is drawn in a haunted world. This is not a typical play, but a theatrical thrill ride — here and now in an "abandoned" theater — in which the audience is surrounded by ghostly sights, sounds, and even touches of the returning dead — all achieved by charming, diabolical storytelling coupled with extraordinary stage illusions.
