About the show
The Séance Starter Kit is a horror-comedy play by Scottish company Get Tae Collective, set inside a failing late-night TV infomercial that collides with the supernatural. The audience plays the role of studio guests as the live broadcast attempts to sell belief itself. Described as a new theatre piece, the show blends hope, fear and free shipping in equal measure. It runs for 60 minutes at The Speakeasy and is for audiences aged 16 and over. Warnings include audience participation, strobe lighting and strong language.
Why see this show?
An original concept that puts you inside a doomed infomercial for the supernatural. Get Tae Collective's horror-comedy is inventive, funny and genuinely unsettling — a theatre experience that plays with the idea of what we're willing to believe in.
