The Brother's Paranormal at David Henry Hwang Theater

The Brother's Paranormal

David Henry Hwang Theater
120 Judge John Aiso St. Los Angeles

After a nationwide increase in sightings of "Asian-looking ghosts," two Thai brothers struggle to launch a ghost-hunting business. The two brothers-one born in Thailand and the other in the American Midwest-are called to investigate the paranormal hauntings at the home of an African-American couple displaced by Hurricane Katrina in this supernatural thriller. EWP multi-produced playwright and teaching artist Prince Gomolvilas pens a suspenseful, humorous, and compassionate exploration of the trauma of leaving home, whether crossing the country, the globe, or over from the other side. The Brothers Paranormal was originally produced in 2019 by Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York City.

Broadway World - Highly Recommended

"...When we are not being creeped out by expertly-staged ghostly encounters coming at us from every corner of the stage, Gomolvilas and Liu treat us to interactions between characters who are well-drawn and believable. The warmth shared between Simpkins's Delia and Howard's Felix is as touching as it is palpable."

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...Ghosts, paranormal investigators, and a loving couple that just moved to their new home — it sounds like a reality TV series for binge watching. The Brothers Paranormal at East West Players turns out to be anything but. Instead, audiences are treated to a wonderful, heartfelt, humorous and gut wrenching drama about family, generational trauma and memory. I will not spill the beans on the multiple reveals in the show, but I must assure you that this show is a hit. Drop everything and go now; the limited run closes on December 13, 2022."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...Playwright Prince Gomolvilas understands this, and his play The Brothers Paranormal is as affecting as it is spooky. The L.A. premiere of the show at East West Players is superb, and expertly delivers all the scares and surprises that the bigger budgeted and more advertised supernatural production currently at the Ahmanson, 2:22, attempts but can’t quite achieve."

"...Still beyond all that, Prince Gomolvilas’ latest play is a gripping and quite fascinating exploration of the stress and agonies we all experience when dealing with the shock and disenfranchisement of leaving home, of addiction, of self-harm, and especially of caring for someone we love too much to abandon. The Brothers Paranormal does more than scare the begeezus out of its audience; it tackles the more tangible fears and anxieties that invade the lives of so many of us in one way or another."
