I heard this read at the Valdez Theatre Conference and it was definitely one of the best pieces on offer at the event. Equal parts quirky small-town ensemble piece and full-grown horror story, the play starts small and continually builds in stakes and tension until the fate of the world sits on these characters' shoulders, and we're with them every step of the way. Equal parts funny and horrifying, and spectacularly timely, with a fantastic coda at the end.

I saw this reading at the Valdez Theatre Conference. For me, it was a highlight of the conference. It was one of those rare, shared experiences where everyone in the room was laughing for the first half, gripping their chairs during the second half and weeping by the time it ended. The characters are wonderfully drawn, the story is topical, and the writing is absolutely top notch. Brilliant!!!

I was all in for a quirky comic piece with an especially dynamic and enjoyable character in the form of Addy, and then I got to the reveal, which turns everything on its head in a thrilling way. The deliberate pacing is perfectly timed and precise as we learn one chilling detail after another about what is really going on here. The characters are so finely detailed and complex that everything that happens is completely believable even with the fantastic elements. The last page is a gut punch.
