    I've always been weary of improv, perhaps my mind is not sharp enough to think so quick. Now, after reading THE WINTER WOLF I'm even less keen!
    This is a clever short play, for the most part the reader or audience is left guessing what might happen... improv indeed, then the twist near the end reveals all. Or does it?
    Clever stuff!

    [11.07.24] This spooky-strange piece revolves around the art of improv, but it’s not slapdash or silly. A well-constructed story with interesting reveals and a satisfying conclusion!

    Floyd-Priskorn plays with an audience's expectations and biases, then reveals the surprising truth as to the baddie in this short horror play. The script is teeming with backstory, mythology, and rich characterizations, but good grief that reveal had me shaking cobwebs from my brain. [24/11/02]
