DC Cathro "Finger" masterfully weaves a narrative around a severed finger. Vee's curiosity and protective attachment to this macabre discovery drive the tension. Themes of possession and human connection to body parts are explored with haunting precision.

FINGER is a suspenseful and immensely well-crafted play by DC Cathro. The characters each have unique voices and fully-fleshed out personalities. I had a chance to catch a reading of this with Aston Rep Theatre Company, but I would absolutely cut off a finger to see a live production performed!

Well that's gonna stick with me for a while. I love how little we end up knowing about certain characters but I still feel like I connected with them. Getting a finger is like seeing a person portrayed in a play; we only get a part of them and that part is all wrapped up in our own stuff and it's really not so much a part of them as it is a representation of our relationship with how we perceive them. I'm going to be thinking about the dude for a while I think.
