This chilling play sent some serious shivers down my spine as I drank my morning coffee. Tacon creates terrific atmosphere, with a simple setting and some clear visual and physical cues. The characters' dialogue is fluid and gripping, and both tug at each other with intentions that shift and morph, which I really like. She is more complex, more mysterious, and he has great emotional range, as they explore a deeper subtext about societal expectations. I can see this as a great addition to horror/ghost/Halloween festivals. A refreshing break from the holidays. Boo!
