Audiences wear headphones \u201cfeaturing groundbreaking binaural sound technology,\u201d according to an official description, designed to be a full sensory experience. Additionally, a recording of the play will later be released globally as an Audible Original.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe enjoyed the most special run of the show in London earlier this year, and I cannot wait to bring it over to New York to terrify the audiences there too,\u201d writer and director Armitage said in a statement. \u201cAnd given that the whole show is set in an audiobook recording studio, a collaboration\u00a0with\u00a0Audible\u00a0felt like the most natural fit in the world.
