Scripture

by Grayson May

To save her mother, Sarah prepares an elaborate ritual, pieced together with holy words and prophetic compulsions. But the ritual is as much sacrificial as it is sacred, and when her childhood friend Michael interferes, Sarah is forced to make the choice between holiness and humanity.

    “

    May creates a gripping tension with each line of dialogue, inviting us into this deeply spiritual and deeply personal world. In a short time, a transformation occurs: not only of the characters, but of the set, the lighting, the tone. I imagine that even the audience will leave the theater feeling transformed. This is a play that does not hold back, and we need more work like it.
