Hide and Seek

After 18 years of marriage, Richard and Jennifer Crawford are finally about to become parents. They have moved from the city to an old farmhouse, which they are trying to restore before the baby arrives. At first, it is mostly the slow pace of restoration that nags them, but then a general sense of unease begins to build as the old house seems to be resisting their intrusion: the lights fail and the plumbing malfunctions. The neighbors stop by with an odd gift?a prayer book for the burial of the dead?and ominously warn Jennifer that she should go back to the city before it is too late. But it is the silent little girl, whom Jennifer claims she has seen on the backyard swing, who brings on the chilling climax of the play?in which the real and the supernatural collide.
