  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Firefound

    This really hit me hard, drawing tears from me at the end. There is no easy way to describe this story as it is many stories. Like a landscape painting you can zoom in and out of and see as much detail or wide views as you want. It's spooky, sad and lovely. It's sci-fi, it's romance, it's horror. It's a story you love, but with new details you didn't see before because they were hidden in the valley where the pages of the book meet. I will be thinking about this play for a long time.

    A fantastical setting filled with intrigue, but it leaves ample room for its delightfully likeable cast to breathe and interact. A deep, ghost story that gripped me with its twists and questions, and has a dark lingering effect after it's done.
