←Recommendations of The Art of What You Want

At first I thought this play was going to be a fairly straightforward "haunted house as metaphor for grief" kind of thing, and then...well, suffice it to say, that is not where we end up. Skin-crawling and shudder-inducing even on the page, I can only imagine what it would be like to see this play in person!

A downright chilling example of top-notch horror theatre. This play is a great balance of suspense and gore, complete with a twist ending I didn't expect at all. Part of me wants to know what happens next!

If you want to write horror for the stage, start here. This is how you do it. Everything about this piece is amazingly written and thought out. Nat Cassidy is extremely brilliant when it comes to the genre, and I can't say enough about this piece. It's creepy, unsettling, gory, and that twist ending? Absolutely shocking. Loved everything about this play.

The emotional horror at the center of this play builds the tension bit by bit to a shocking conclusion. It's one of the tightest, best-structured short plays I've read. I need a glass of that Scotch they're drinking at the top to shake it off.

A fascinating horror of a relationship that keeps you hooked for every twist and turn, you will be completely absorbed. Well done!

This is so well-constructed I want to study it. There's no way to know at the outset all the insane turns this shocking (and shockingly efficient) short story will take, but by its batshit conclusion you realize how effectively all the tiny breadcrumbs have been deployed to lead you to this terrible place. The most queasy-making play I've ever recommended, and I recommend it highly.

This short play ruined my weekend. When you think you know where it's going, the playwright surprises you again and again. His short plays deserve an evening length of theatre.

Ah! This play is so spooky and upsetting and unsettling and terrific. Ultimately, this is a play about power -- which, in my mind, is one of the most frightening motivators of all. Cassidy has a deft hand with these characters, slowly unveiling different layers of the twisted, dark underbelly of these relationships.

A terrifying take on the haunted hose sub-genre. Cassidy knows how to get under your skin, making you feel like you know what's going on, then showing you that you have no idea. His work constantly plays with the tropes of the genre in a way that he makes them feel fresh. This play is no exception.
