“
A captivating journey as a child becomes friends with a fairy who may be the most wonderful friend she has met or a villain in disguise. Engaging and well done! ”

- Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn:19 Feb. 2021“ This play is wickedly fun...and dangerous...and beautiful...and terrifying. Just like faery magic is supposed to be. I'm in love with this play. The characters are all wonderfully crafted and full of life. What a great way to tell a story about loss and childhood...and the magick we need to leave behind in order to survive. ”
- Doug DeVita:19 Oct. 2019“ Haunting, disturbing, and with beautifully crafted characters, "Comes A Faery" has a lyrical edge that lingers long after the play has finished. One is fully invested in Siobhan's story and believes in her from start to finish, truly yearning for this child's happiness. ”
- Asher Wyndham:10 Feb. 2019“ If you enjoyed McLindon's Irish-themed bar-play Distant Music or contemporary Irish theatre or even the movie Pan's Labryinth, you will thoroughly enjoy Comes a Faery. Taking what could've been a typical drama about the effects of war on American family life, McLindon heightens his emotional story by inserting an Irish folklore-theme, specifically about fairies and fairy land, bringing to the stage/page moments of enchantment with the relationship between a questionable fairy guide Seaneen and a vulnerable child Siobhan, leading the audience, surprisingly, to a shocking, sinister conclusion. Highly recommended. ”
