Jordan Bird: Unnerving Stains by Tramaine Brathwaite

“

I LOVE this short thriller -- I was on the edge of my seat reading it and can only imagine how that feeling would expand during a production. Brathwaite effortlessly weaves together moments of horror and beauty in a unique and exciting way, and the characters are heightened and electric. Brilliant short play.
