“Ooh this is a fun play presented by Pork Filled Players at Theatre Off Jackson. Do you like ghosts lurching around and throwing things? Imaginatively combining a Black couple’s post-Katrina fears and a Thai family’s immigrant travails.
“There are some terrific low-tech special effects and even some magic tricks that definitely caused the audience to gasp in surprise…
The family dynamics in the play are cute to watch with Hsieh reveling in the dominating mother, enforcing the Thai culture. Whitaker-Paquiet and Hill have lovely chemistry as husband and wife and it’s nice to see a black couple simply being a loving and supportive couple without major plot drama. ”

“Go see this show! it totally freaked me out and was so moving on so many other levels beyond the scare factor; really, go support it.”
“The playwright has created two sets of interesting characters (the Thai family of ghost busters and Delia/Felix the African American hurricane refugees) and the dialogue is amusing and there are some fun scary scenes in the play with clever DIY stagecraft utilizing Robin Macartney’s innovative set design. The overall feeling of an Asian ghost/horror movie is nicely done on this production’s small budget.”
