The show follows the unlikely journey of Mr. and Mrs. "Fritz" Fitzhuber, who are summoned through a mysterious tiny door in their living room while eating a quiet dinner at home. Through the door, they embark on perilous hikes, find a "phantasmagorical Alpen hotel," lost relatives, deceptive employees and societal ladies that "awaken their mysterious ancient selves."

Performances are set to run through Oct. 18.

ERS is an Obie and Lortel-winning Off-Broadway company whose previous acclaimed works include The Sound and The Fury, which was recently revived at the Public Theater.
