Recommendations of The Pitchforks

  • Olivia Haller: The Pitchforks

    I read this play months ago and am still thinking about it. I've told multiple people to read it not only because it makes an important, timely statement about our culture's sexual taboos, but is also just a good, thrilling ride. Someone please produce it so I can tell everyone to see it instead!

  • Ali MacLean: The Pitchforks

    This scary, smart play hooked me from the start, with its foreboding setting, hilariously drawn characters that aren't what they seem, and, well, I can't ruin what follows, but nothing GOOD ever happens in a run-down motel on Halloween. Yet in the second act, it shifts to an intellectual discussion about gay representation in horror cinema in Hollywood and how some minds just won't shift, unless perhaps they are forced to. Great play!

    As a lover of all things horror, this play was right up my alley. Knowledgeable, witty, fun and real.

    This play is chilling, terrifying and so, so smart. This is the queer horror play we NEED. It's so, so wonderful in so many ways. I was often left gasping out loud - both for the horror tropes that are brilliantly executed and for the horror of the reality that this play discusses. I hope that there are theatres out there brave enough to tackle this remarkable play.

    I freakin’ love this play! Dark, sexy, smart, and surprising, it’s an original take on our society’s fraught relationship with masculinity, both within and outside the queer community. I imagine this would be a delicious piece to design and act in, and a show audience would be talking about for a long time. Highly recommended!

    As a horror enthusiast, it was fantastic to read a stage play that is able to capture the cinematic language of horror and showcase some of the actual horrors that LGBTQ people face. The meta-commentary on both the horror genre and the gatekeepers for queer representation find an intriguing balance in this script.

    This is a dark, surreal, scary, and smart piece of theater. Its shape keeps you guessing and involved. Kramer's play is a cutting and insightful commentary on the media and the perils of homophobia and toxic masculinity.

  • River Timms: The Pitchforks

    The gay horror play that we all deserve. It's sexy and scary, but it's also a wonderful indictment about LGBTQ media and how infrequently our lives are allowed to be seen onscreen. Please read this play!

    What a cool, sexy, well-crafted, and intense play! I was completely drawn in, turned on, educated, and thrilled in one sitting. I've never read a play like this before. A unique voice.
