What it was like
You don't watch Delusion. You walk into it. The door closes behind you, the actors know your name, and for the next fifty minutes you are inside a story that is happening to you — not in front of you, not around you, but to you specifically, because you are the one who knocked.
Den of the Mosquito is set in a 1920s New Orleans brothel where the courtesans are something older than human and the family that owns the building has been paying a debt that predates electricity. The Beckett Mansion — a 1905 Los Angeles landmark in West Adams, the same house where Jon Braver staged the very first Delusion in 2011 — becomes the set, the stage, and the cage. You move through its rooms. You choose which doors to open. The paths branch. The actors react to you. The vampires are closer than you'd like.
Delusion's longest and most interactive production. Tickets sell out in hours. The people who go don't post spoilers — they post the look on their face coming out. If you've ever said 'I wish Halloween lasted longer than one night,' this is the thing you didn't know existed.
Select nights September 17–November 8. Beckett Mansion, Los Angeles. 18+.
