    So, despite the central situation being an unusual one Jennifer makes the characters and the way they talk about the unusual situation they have found themselves in seem very real. The relationships between Becca and her family and friends draws you in as an audience and then further intriegue and tension is added making this a play you can't fail to get invested in. Plus the fact that it offers wonderful roles for women is just icing on a lovely constructed cake! Produce this to give actresses of multiple ages the chance to play some fabulous characters!

    This is a great paranormal, mystery that had me leaning in and eager to see what happened next! The characters are all very likeable and well developed. Many strong roles for female-identifying actors of all ages! Designers will have a blast creating theatrical magic. I truly enjoyed this piece!

    Entertaining and clever with strong (intergenerational) parts for women - crafted and plotted with skill, suspense, irony, and great dialogue. And it's about the supernatural and life and death and philosophy and relationships and all sorts of things that matter.

    O'Grady has a gift for writing unique plays that celebrate the strengths of women. Ellery is a PHENOMENAL show for actresses--and for any audience and director and designer! It's creative and unique and heartfelt and very funny. What I really like about O'Grady's plays is that they celebrate the beautiful things in the world even while paying attention to the dark things. O'Grady also really has a gift for writing pretty dream male characters who aren't threatened by the successful women they adore. Another strong showing from O'Grady here--check it out!
