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.

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.

How can a play be this disturbing, spooky, and intellectual, while being one of the sexiest plays I've ever read? How? Andrew Kramer... that's how. One of the most brilliant writers I know. I am forever mystified by his storytelling ability. One of the BEST in the game.

There's nothing like Andrew Kramer's work. There's a boldness and danger and beauty and pain and heart in everything he writes and THE PITCHFORKS is no exception. It at once deconstructs the horror genre while also being scary and sexy and funny. Can't say enough good things. You won't read another play like this one. Read it. And read his body of work.
