Ephebophilia

Recommended by

  • Aleks Merilo: Ephebophilia

    This is a jarring, startling, and wonderful script. Playing out with all the tension of a heist gone wrong, this play pulled me in from the first moments, and allowed me to feel empathy for troubled people in a disaster of their own making. I look forward to seeing this one live.

    I saw a staged reading of this a few years ago and I have to say it's only gotten better. Dusty's work is gripping, surprising, disconcertingly honest, and forces the audience to consider the world from unthinkable subject positions if only to better understand how to respond to them. This is a great play.
