  • Trey Everett: Creature Feature

    This script is rich with sharp dialogue, and a really distinct and layered characters. A darkly humorous exploration of strained family dynamics, professional dissatisfaction, and personal reinvention. The design and use of th character Topeka is genius. I think Noah is one of the most exciting playwright working right now. I loved this played.
