←Recommendations of Feral

Anyone looking for a two-hander for a pair of thirty-something actresses would do well to consider Feral by Ross Tedford Kendall. Kendall hints at the relationships that exists among these two women and their mother without giving definitive answers, thereby leaving much to interpretation. It would be interesting to see what multiple casts could do with this text.

Coyote. Wild dogs. A feral cat. The resolve of Chelsea. Her sister Madison’s patient concern. Perhaps the unspoken tension is the need for both thirty-something women to go FERAL. Ross Tedford Kendall’s thoughtful and extraordinarily realistic conversation is a wonderful example of how less is more. Fine work!

"Feral" is a charming and insightful play that offers a fresh perspective on family relationships, companionship, and the lengths one might go for the things that bring joy. Its humor, well-crafted dialogue, and unique setting would make for an engaging theatrical experience.

A great short play for two women. The characters are well written and their interactions are very engaging. Well done!

A lovely short play for two women. Strong sense of atmosphere which will make staging a delight. Bravo!

I love this play! I love the relationship between the sisters (and their mother). I love the love Chelsea has for the feral cat. There is so much said in the unsaid in this play. You'll be taken in from the first moment. AND- if you love animals you'll love this play even more. Read-enjoy it!

I love the energy which runs throughout this short two hander, the two sisters relationship is described perfectly. When reading a script I like to be drawn into the scene, I certainly did here, I could fell myself sitting in the garden looking out for coyotes and feral cats. I loved it!

Beautifully written! So much is illustrated about the family's relationship to one another through this funny but realistic situation of trying to save a feral cat.

Having a sister--and a feral cat, and coyotes--this play felt very real to me. The banter between the two women, seemingly on the surface, deftly reveals so much more. I am reminded how important it is to have that person who will sit with you in the dark--where ever, when ever--just accepting that you need to be there.

Feral does a thing I love, which is telling me a lot by telling me almost nothing. I don’t know what’s going on in Chelsea’s life, really, or Madison’s, or their mother’s, or why they’re as stuck as they are; what I do know is that this moment between adult sisters is funny, sweet, sad, utterly believable, and, in its quiet way, a turning point for both of them. Deceptively simple, cunningly structured, and very satisfying.
