  • Aly Kantor: dead bitch

    Being an ambitious teenager is hard—part of you despises the very peers whose attention you crave most. In this play, the Queen Bee kicks the bucket—relief!—and then comes back wrong. The depictions of the power shifts are masterful here, and I love the specific, messy, shameless characters. How many of the choices we make are genuine vs performative? I love the exploration of how behavior haunts us. A fascinating, theatrical play teen girls (and many adults) would benefit from experiencing!

    I really dug this play. It's a play about female friendships and how complicated they can be. This play features incredible roles for young actresses. The dialogue feels so authentic.

josie: 17. the “nice friend” with a mean streak.

kendall: 17. wound up, competitive. in flashbacks, she has a cast on her right foot.

abigail: 17. impulsive, abrasive, acts older than she is. dead (kind of).
