  • Joshua Fardon: Night Shift

    The true horror of this play comes from Celine trying to connect with her daughter and instead getting lost in a fog of helplessness, alcoholism, frustration and despair. The play's grim edict that we become the ghosts that haunt us is delivered in a powerful way that will resonate with audiences. A great, terrifying read which would do well paired up with a similarly themed one-hour one-act.

    Oooooh this play is great. It sucks you in and has you wondering what is real and what is in Celine's mind. So, so well done! Gabriella Bonamici packs a whole lot into only 48 pages and keeps you guessing. I loved it!

    "Night Shift" by Gabriella Bonamici is a deeply emotional, appropriately creepy play about a woman fighting for custody of her daughter. With an almost Twilight-Zone feel that is both disorienting and exciting, this play is a must-read for any horror/thriller/mystery fan. An incredible work that would be amazing to see fully staged.
