    I had the pleasure of participating in a reading of this play at the New Harmony Project 2018, and to this day the work still flashes across my mind. Raw and thorny, Ravenous captures perfectly two people who are reaching for one another and how frightening it is when that desire cannot be defined.

Character Information

  • Cian
    It is the sadness in his eyes and his swift grin that makes you stand at his door. Old, but not too old. Almost.
  • Adri
    It is the spring in her lungs and the strength in her jaw that makes you invite her in. Young, but not too young. Almost.
