This Grass Kills People

Recommended by

  • Samara Siskind: This Grass Kills People

    Were they warned? Yes. Did they choose to disregard the threat and sip mimosas? Also, yes. Daniel Prillaman has penned a brilliantly absurd post-pandemic gem that is part satire, part cautionary tale, and one hundred percent riveting. A clever, timely short that I would kill to see on stage.

    I had the pleasure of seeing a production of This Grass Kills People in July 2023. From the minute the play begin, I was hooked. The play is a fable, but deftly done. It's the perfect play for 2023 and a reflection on "post pandemic" life.

    In THIS GRASS KILLS PEOPLE, Daniel Prillaman takes us on a journey. I was hooked right from the start. What first feels like a dark comedic dystopian play turns into an even darker conclusion. This play is cool, funny, and unexpectedly terrifying!
