A middle aged man, Asher, breaks a long solitude by taking work as a "haunter" at the best haunted forest in North Carolina. During his shift, he's stationed with a young woman, Hazel, and her life-sized, puppet-mannequin, Babydoll. As the October night wanes the man begins to recognize the guests walking along the trail; his parents when he was a baby, himself as an 80-year-old, himself as a boy, and so on, seemingly counting down to his current age. He soon learns that Hazel is the key to unravelling the riddle and they both must confront the horror in their lives before being trapped in this timeless, crawling, chaos for eternity.
"Be careful what you take into solitude with you, for there it grows."
The Shadow Amok Time is a new, fully immersive horror play produced by Studio One's Snow Camp and will premiere this October 15-17.
