“
A very funny and twisted piece about a curse, and the struggles of the characters to rid themselves of it. Suspenseful as well as hilarious, this is a real audience pleaser. ”

A fantastic literary horror with a curse that may come upon him unless he can figure out a way to lift it! Very funny! ”

I was fortunate to see this in Heartland's 10-Minute Play Fest and it's such a funny and wild play. The whole audience was laughing, and it seemed clear that the actors were having an amazing time performing it. Loads of fun. ”
