    A spine-chilling look into the unknown. I got to see "Unknown Number" at the FRIGID New York Play Reading in December 2024 and its horror-craft is exactly what I hope to find with plays about the unknown. Mandryk keeps you guessing, on the edge of your seat, and leaves you wanting more.

    We released an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 4 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e18). Greg Mandryk is a master at world building and with UNKNOWN NUMBER he has given us an eerie encounter between Samantha and an unknown entity. The tension slowly reveals itself as we witness her panic build with each phone call. The story keeps you guessing til the end and this writer's words never release their grip on you.

    Terrifying and creepy! The mingling of the off kilter voices are harrowing and bone-chilling. Mandryk has organized this piece in a way that in the end, your own imagination ends up being what gets you.
