  • Jonathan Cook: Sacrifice

    What a fun premise! This dark comedy makes you think it's going one way, then it goes another, then it gives you an ending that is truly satisfying. Jacquelyn has a talent for crafting clever stories and, in this case, she gives us humor and horror all wrapped into a tidy play. Brilliant work and highly recommended!

    Jacquelyn Priskorn's "Sacrifice" has dark comedic dialogue that shines, crafting sharp characters. The clever exchanges between the Sacrifice and the Acolytes create a humorous, scornful tone that keenly contrasts with the gruesome finale. Add that to a super enjoyable read with balanced wit and horror, revealed through a shocking, fun twist. If you like a play where you think you know what's going to happen and suddenly you have the rug pulled out from under you, well, this is IT!

    Okay, this is FUN. I love it when a semantic loophole gets a character out of hot water, even if the water was only ever tepid at best! The play itself is loaded with shocking, silly, and smart humor that comes fast and furious from beginning to end - a VERY dense and efficient comedy, considering the page count! The twist (like the truth) is utterly delicious, with a spectacular moment of highly theatrical chaos that, while brilliantly left to the audience's imagination, designers will have a blast figuring out! A fun, messy, and very smart horror-comedy!
