This is the type of visceral, highly theatrical play that I couldn't help but design in my head as I was reading. What's really incredible about this script, however, is that I could HEAR it, which seems to be by design - sound and silence are the main characters in this gorgeous, mournful fairytale world, which would make the audience experience immersive, adding a rich level of dimension you can't find in just any script. Those looking for a compelling queer myth will fall in love with this script, as I have.

This play is the intense and captivating queer story I didn't know I needed.

Skin Song feels like an Irish fable - lyrical, romantic, wild, a little sad. It's impressive how Katherine is able to create such nuanced and charged relationships between characters who fundamentally can't understand one other. The storytelling in this script is so visually creative, I found my imagination filling out the staging within the first few pages.
