This script, like a dream, requires reflection. Analysis.
But, also like a dream, its meaning changes based on who is doing the reflection. Analysis.
One part social commentary, one part nightmare... Or is the nightmare actually the commentary?
A surrealist whirlpool that will get into your soul and change you. A fantastic piece of writing, a favorite from the 2025 Midwest Dramatist Conference, I hope to see fully realized on stage in the near future.

I saw a reading of the first part of this play at the 2025 Midwest Dramatists Conference in Kansas City, then I came here to read the rest. Then I came back to read it through again. That's the type of play it is. You may not understand it the first time through. Or the second. But it pulls you in. Read it and you will understand what I mean.

Part One may be "The Dream" but all three parts put together makes for an exquisite nightmare. Few dream plays actually achieve the surreal impressionistic quality of real dreams the way this trypich does. The first half especially is an onslaught of ever-changing circumstances each more unsettling than the last. After that, the dreamscape becomes more grounded but no less volatile and dangerous. You can never be sure of the ground beneath your feet... if there even is any. A chilling hellscape.
