    Much like our protagonist, Joe, you will not predict the end of this short piece. A great example of a playwright taking advantage of expectations and subverting them.

    Short Cut in the Cemetery is a dark humour piece. It definitely falls into the I didn’t see that coming Genre. Fun.

    Short Cut in the Cemetery is a fun, dark twist on a familiar horror trope. What starts as a typical romantic rendezvous quickly spirals into unexpected, hilarious horror. The punchline is sharp, and the suspense keeps you on the edge. A perfect blend of creepy and comedic!
