It’s all fun and games until SIMON SAYS! What starts out as an interview for a documentary on the origin of children’s games and chants and how they became widely known (an interesting topic, for sure), becomes weirder, creepier, and downright frightening! Erin Moughon does a brilliant job of lulling us into a false sense of security as the two-person crew goes about setting up for the interview. A great script waiting to scare the daylights out of audiences everywhere.

I am already a huge Erin Moughon fan, and what a treat to discover such a compelling, new-to-me play! Like the content itself, this short begins with fun and games - creepy vibes and goofy overreactions - and escalates and escalates until it enters the realm of true horror! Best of all, you don't need any special effects (other than a trio of dedicated actors) to pull off the most terrifying, gut-clenching aspects of this script! When a play is both this compelling and this producible, it's certain to contribute to more genre theatre on our stages! Bravo!

Oh man. It was funny and then it got creepy and then it got scary - and it wasn't a very long play! What a masterclass. Erin Moughon knows how to tell a story that gets you.
