I had the pleasure of reading in this piece at the Valdez Theatre Conference, and was struck by its originality, vitality, and verve. I mean, it's a weird play, but one that really comes to life with a willing cast and receptive audience, both of which were present in abundance at the conference. Equal parts whimsical, visceral, and disturbing, it leaves a real impression on the page and would no doubt be even more impactful in a full production.

A delightful, interactive play about finding one's self.

This play begs the question "what the fuck is a bone play?" — then answers it almost instantly, because Sullivan writes straight not to the heart or mind but straight down to the bones. Has the sort of feral, child-like, slightly-off nature of the first Don't Hug Me I'm Scared video. At times dark, and at times sweet — too sweet, sickeningly sweet, tooth-hurtingly sweet. Enough cutesy rhymes to make you heave. A play about teeth — biting, life-giving, ripping, crushing, bloody, teeth.

"We offer you this body, sacred and dry, with glistening fangs that could make grown men
cry."
