←Recommendations of Night in Alachua County

Through an all-female cast of masterfully crafted characters, Rumberger creates an unnerving world where the real monsters are human. This deeply disturbing script had me on the edge of my seat!

I had the privilege of working on this play when it was produced by WildClaw Theatre in Chicago. It is steeped with the atmosphere of dread and family secrets that you would hope for in a modern gothic story set in Florida, and then adds a layer of genuine supernatural horror that amplifies the already disturbing subject matter. The bursts of genuine humor serve to make the dark turns that much more unnerving when they arrive. I am a huge fan of this play!

Saw this in production, thanks to Wildclaw Theatre, and I got the creepy-crawlies from the second the lights rose. A fantastic family secrets play with a gothic bombast that allows for wonderful side characters who deserve their own plays!

This is horror writing at its best! Five complex and dynamic women must come to grips with a family secret and the gut-wrenching fallout. Night in Alachua County relies on psychological circumstances rather than cheap horror tropes to create a riveting and truly terrifying story.
