    I loved this play and all it's saying about human nature. That final scene is a killer.

    Filled with fluid, seductive language and beautifully drawn characters, The Prying is a wonderful existential ode to the virtues and failings of friendship in an era where questions of trust are endemic to everyday life.

    Durkee captures the sickening, creeping realization that sometimes is not alright in your closest friendships. Despite their flaws and hidden intentions, each character is someone who you can't help but see yourself in. The Prying is one of those rare plays that makes you want to immediately journal about your own personal life as soon as you set the script down.
