This play starts like a simple monologue and slowly becomes something deeply unsettling. Emma’s story pulls you in, then quietly implicates you in her pain. It’s weird, powerful, and impossible to shake.

Holy cow... what short play/monologue. DANIEL PRILLAMAN has written something that will haunt audiences for some time after experiencing it. Working with teens, I recognize the feelings of Emma and the plight she cannot escape. PRILLAMAN creates a world that defies logic, time, and consequences. Absolutely superb.

01.24.25 - I'm stunned. STUNNED. I read that title. I've read Prillaman's stuff before. I still wasn't prepared for what he put on paper here. A young woman talks us through her crucifixion at the hands of a magician at a school assembly. Read that sentence again. It's brilliant and disturbing and impossible and Prillaman (If I can use that as a descriptive, and hell yes, I can). He never fails to astound me with his imagery and imagination. Keep writing this stuff Dan, and show us how it's done
