←Recommendations of The Pitchforks

Dark, sexy, haunting. Never lets you get comfortable while it drives to some killer, unexpected locations.

I lost count of all the twists in this play. This really delivers on the idea of representation in a genre, both with the main narrative and where it goes from there. I wish I could write a play like this. Great job!

A play with a twist that was utterly surprising and utterly satisfying. I need to see a production of this with the budget for all the moments of stage magic.

Horror meets queerness meets masculinity meets film theory in this spectacular drama by Andrew Kramer. This unapologetically gay story will drop your jaw, and keep it on the floor as it unravels to its thrilling end. While the primary characters are clearly men, this show could easily cast actors of any gender identity as it notes the dangers of toxic masculinity and how men are trapped within its expectations. From exploring heteronormativity to dissecting the horror genre, I can't say enough good things about this play.

Electrifying. Bold. Suspenseful. Insert your favorite positive expletive here. Just wow. Andrew Kramer is a commanding storyteller who writes with an inspiring fearlessness. The Pitchforks doesn't hold back, in any regard. It's raw. It's seductive. It's unpredictable and asks its audience to question some truths about what they're watching. This is a play I couldn't put down, and I came away from it with some new understandings. It does exactly what we want art to do, and it's an awesome ride. Bonus points: his characters speak and move with purpose, and his stage directions are visceral and sublime.

Wow. This play just fearlessly broke rules and took some major turns that I think can only be accomplished onstage. It would be so fun to work on this.

A frighting horror that asks some really great questions in a humorous fashion that makes this mystery a thrilling adventure! Well done!

HOLY SHIT. This is fantastic. A complete and utter mindfuck. Genuinely terrifying-and not just because of the horror genre. I really did not see the last scene of this play coming. Reminds me of some of my favorite plays I've ever seen, GLORIA, for one. This horror fan is satiated...and personally, I'd love to watch that film.

I'm puzzled and horrified and humored and a million things after reading "The Pitchforks". This is not typical horror at all. In fact, it's not merely horror, which is what makes it a masterpiece. It's supernatural, unashamedly queer, and genre-bending. And, as required, it's scary as hell! Andrew Kramer isn't afraid to reference other classic horror movies and playwrights while still breaking the rules altogether! Tension and satire abound, and it never lets up. This is something else! Way to go, Kramer!

Yowza, this play. As a horror-film fan, I’m usually left pretty cold by most theatrical attempts at the genre; but this sucker is deeply unsettling, genuinely terrifying, and sad as hell. And that’s before it takes its big left turn and becomes another kind of play altogether. (Or does it?) Horror is at its best when its metaphors work, and boy does this play understand that — even as it rips the genre constructs aside and takes aim at the power structure of the genre itself.

Don’t even read the keywords; dive in blind and take the ride.
