Horror Comedies
"I’ve always believed that comedy helps us process our collective anxieties by allowing us to laugh about them. In a world that’s become increasingly anxiety-inducing, our everyday worries seem to be darker and deadlier, and more and more comedies include elements of straight-up horror. Stalkers, serial killers, and paranormal monsters populate some of the most hilarious plays I’ve read this year, provoking thrills and chills alongside gut-busting laughs. The horrors persist, but at least they’re funny."—playwright Jillian Blevins
