ETHER: The Strange Afterlife of Harry Houdini & Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

There will be a free staged reading of a new play, ETHER: The Strange Afterlife of Harry Houdini & Sir Arthur Conan Doyle by Susan Weinstein on April 12, 2019 at Dixon Place in New York City. Geoff Moonen will read Houdini and Owen Hayden reads Conan Doyle. Admission is free.

Act 1 of a 2-act play: Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s rivalry continues in the afterlife where they and their wives are stuck in their versions of life after death. The play is based on letters they exchanged after Houdini asked Doyle to find him a genuine medium. They explored the space between life and death together. They ended at opposite ends of a spectrum that here must find a resolution.
