    Starts innocuously enough and then knocks the breath out of you! A super, short two hander horror piece that's easy to produce but thrilling to act. All you need are two male actors and a fishbowl.

    It started with the matching outfits... a darkly lit vending machine... and a simple goldfish. I will never look at goldfish the same way again. DC CATHRO has created a world that is full of secrets, lies, and cravings. WOW! This pieces needs to be produced.

    Creepy vibes abound in this supernatural thriller, in which an uncomfortable conversation in a liminal hotel hallway turns into so much more. I love how the moments of highest theatricality are simple, allowing the actors to shine even above technical elements. The tension is palpable throughout but rises to a fever pitch during the shocking reversal. The final image is as creepy and enduring as it is thoroughly satisfying! A cool concept executed fantastically!
