    A powerful play capturing the unbelievable and all consuming power transformed into an exploration of the space between life and death. What will we do for love?

    A thought provoking, creepy play about grief, regret, and sacrifice. And consequences, OH BOY, the consequences...

    Living Creatures is a beautiful exploration about loss and the manifestation of grief. I think the greatest compliment I can pay play is that I read it several days ago and the end has haunted me ever since. It's a chilling and compassionate look at the toll this takes on a parent and the lengths you could go to get your child back. At it's core it's about love and how it can fuel and ruin you simultaneously.

    Wellman has composed a chilling fable about the helplessness of parenthood. Having a child means that every day, every moment, is an opportunity for them to die. Part ghost story, part aching lament, the playwright taps into the primal fear of child loss, creating a contemporary mythology, not to explain the afterlife, but rather what happens to the living when someone they have put their heart into is gone. It is a creepy, painful, glorious work of love.
