Spellbound

by Matthew Everett

Thanks to his mischievous friend Jeffrey, who’s begun dabbling in witchcraft, Micah has accidentally dosed his best friend Auggie with a love potion. Which might be fine, if Auggie wasn’t straight, and married, or if Auggie’s wife Sarah wasn’t pregnant, or a practicing witch. With the help of Duncan, who runs the local metaphysical supply store, the race is on to whip up the antidote before anyone does...

  • Ava Love Hanna: Spellbound by Matthew Everett
    “

    Spellbound is a beautifully crafted romantic comedy that deftly navigates the murky waters of love and friendship, free will, and consent. The combination of magic with characters that are messy and deeply human is a fantastic contrast. While the dialogue is sharp and often hilarious, the play is anchored by a sobering exploration of agency and connection. The play, much like the song that anchors it, is skillfully composed and built with a resonant, theatrical rhythm. An absolute delight.
