Audiences are invited to an once-in-a-lifetime tour of Harrow House, the secluded home and studio of Milton Harrow, the world’s most influential and reclusive architect. With no guide but their instincts, guests be set loose in the infamous home to discover its secrets, free to pull on whatever threads they encounter and become entangled in the terrifying tale that unspools around them. Within Harrow House’s moldering walls, guests will meet its monstrous inhabitants — the architect’s family, assistants and his most fervent followers. Each one has made an unthinkable sacrifice to the mad architect’s insatiable hunger for a world that conforms only to his design.
Through puppetry, environmental and sonic design, The Silence in Harrow House brings audiences face to face with cosmic horrors, nightmarish to behold and yet…uncannily familiar. Harrow House asks: Can we not only face our fears, but meet them? Can we find empathy for those who frighten us?
