Talk about a cautionary tale of suspense and the supernatural! And of the way lives can go in so many different directions depending on a single decision. At the center is young Samantha and her imaginary friend. Who may not be so imaginary. I loved all the layers, and how I felt more emotionally involved with every curious turn in this deceptively simple story. Wonderfully done!

Initially it’s cool that Sam the imaginary friend is always 14, an adolescent, but for a child an older sister at the threshold of adulthood, an ideal guide for the coming years . . . but as SAMANTHA’S FRIEND continues the eerie tension builds between Samantha and her parents as we wonder about the true nature of the supernatural visitor. Plumridge knows how to patiently and expertly add twigs to the story’s fire, and I love how the structure of the play diverges in such a way that it mirrors the action and character dynamic, giving us twin riveting conclusions!

What a haunting short play! The tension builds with every birthday. Audiences will be on the edge of their seats.
