An Audiobook Session Goes Horribly Wrong Every Night Off-Broadway. Audible Hands You the Headphones
An actor turns up late to a recording studio, gets handed a ghost story to narrate, and the engineer hits record. That's the whole set-up of A Ghost in Your Ear, a headphone horror play that began its off-Broadway run at Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre on Saturday. Every seat comes with headphones, and the microphone has a face.
Lucas Iverson, known from The Pitt, plays the actor who arrives for a last-minute audiobook session. Owen Campbell, from the horror film X, plays the audio engineer on the other side of the glass. The play runs through November 22, and Audible is recording it during the run to release later as an Audible Original.
For anyone who has ever stood in a booth with a script they'd never seen before, the premise lands close to home. In Audible's words, the actor "is handed the script of a chilling ghost story to read. But as the engineer cues the recording and the evening wears on, the horrors slowly begin to escape the page to haunt the studio itself."
