←Recommendations of Sin Eaters

This piece is so scary BECAUSE it feels like something that could actually happen to somebody. The dialogue is fast paced and absolutely jarring, creating an eerie atmosphere that creeps in slowly and then hits you all at once. And that ending? Absolutely brutal, but also shows just how serious the premise is. Felt this one in my bones.

Covered on my SubStack, "A Playwright's Journey".

Such a fast-paced play about a job that not many people think about. Really admire Moench's writing in this play. Was fascinated seeing the toll this job takes on Mary and her mental health. This is a play that will definitely start some conversations.

A funny nightmarish play about desensitized we all are to the horrors around us. Better than a Black Mirror episode. Trippy as hell.

Sharp, hilarious, unsettling--this genre-bending piece utilizes horror and thriller elements to amplify the exploration of the ways the internet has informed and distorted social connections and allowed folks to manifest their disturbing desires. The uber atmospheric play conjures up a vividly rendered theatrical world that feels impressively well-realized while being claustrophobic and created by just two actors. I'd love to see this in production!

In the world today, where so much has moved online, we all recognize that social media is eating our souls. This play makes that reality active, tangible, and occasionally hilarious! I love plays in which the setting is a character unto itself, and the playwright has done that here. It's incredibly atmospheric and echoes the internal journey of the protagonist perfectly. The doubling is, likewise, brilliant - intentional, theatrical, and even chilling at moments. While the piece is spare, it's exactly as long as it has to be. Every moment in this tightly constructed, dark little play counts!

Both hilarious and horrific. As Mary begins to questions reality, we see that dark underbelly of social media tearing into all of us and our own sanity.

There are those jobs that will eat away your soul, so imagine what trying to clean up the internet will do to you! Hilarious and well done.

Works that tightrope between satirical and brutal with seeming ease. Sin Eaters cuts far deeper than your average condemnation of our networked world; showing how inescapable it is both as the new center of the economic universe gravitationally flinging people towards the worst version of themselves, and as the toxic funhouse mirror so impossible to ignore that it replaces your reality. All that - and it never forgets to be funny.
