Domesticate

by Vidalia Unwin

CeCe loves to make friends. She makes so very many friends. But almost none of them are real.
It's easier to create a friend than to find a real one. But sometimes those friends are terrible. Sometimes they're down right monsters.
And those monsters just might show the world the real monster that lives inside of her.

Domesticate

  • Brian David Walker: Domesticate by Vidalia Unwin
    “

    Vidalia's Domesticate is equal parts thought-provoking/chilling/laugh out loud funny/difficult but worth the journey. The characters give actors incredibly nuanced and honest people (and beasts) to inhabit and portray onstage, the tight and clever script gives directors sublime challenges for staging and theatricality, and the production will leave audiences thinking about this play for weeks after they've seen it.

    Vidalia Unwin's exploration of monstrousness, both literal and figurative, is haunting. Each character is carefully written with this theme in mind, tackling the subject in unpredictable ways. Mixed with hilarious moments of dark comedy, "Domesticate" is a play that will sit with you for quite some time, leaving its audience to reflect on their own "monstrousness," and wonder what form Mr. Crawl would take in their own subconscious.

The actors may be any ethnicity or gender identity, however the characters identify as cis gender.
The roles of Red and Mr. Crawl may be performed however the production sees fit, from puppets to actors in full body costumes.
The parts of Red and Tasha may be double cast, if so desired.
