←Recommendations of what the Gods gave me

Gothic, dark, and poignant. A fun treatise on existing as a woman, and a person, in the world. Our obligations to each other and to ourselves.

An electrifying play from start to finish, the route in which the play found it's climax was thrilling. Eryn wrote such complex and emotional characters that you felt for throughout the play. It's unique style and themes bring fresh air to the format. Looking forward to more work from this artist.

Chilling to the bone! McVay is a master of creating a world that makes the audience feel off kilter. There’s an eeriness that pervades her plays in a way that could make your skin crawl if she wasn’t in such control of her message. The relationships of her characters are soul of the play. Not for the faint of heart nor the fragile cis male ego. Read and produce this play!

There is never a dull moment in a McVay play, and this theatrical piece delivers. From start to finish, she craftfully entices her audience with a tale of increasingly futile hope. This show is so effortlessly timeless, and yet made for our here and now. There will be laughs, there will be tears, but no matter who you are, this play is a must.

Eryn McVay is a poet. This play does what so little theater attempts: captivate and chill you to your core. Her use of language is unmatched here, and to create the world and emotional stakes she has takes real command. This play would make a great addition for theaters looking to expand their themes and maybe start a conversation in their community. This play will leave audiences wondering if everything they thought about plays and theater was all wrong. Like all great poems should.

The old, wintery, lonely setting gives a grim mood for this family drama. While the religious cult at the center of the play holds several dark secrets, what stands out throughout is the distinctly familial kind of familiarity that McVay gives them. As the story draws closer to a bloody sacrifice, and our protagonist questions her own role in this world, we're left to wonder, between the cold isolation of Nevermoore and the oppressive society of the world outside, which is more free? We're kept wondering right to the shocking conclusion.

A chilling gothic tale inspired from Brontëan traditions, McVay's play is an excitingly different look into being caught in the web of a familial cult. The Victorian setting contrasts with the use of modern language, and reminds the reader/watcher of the timelessness of its subject matter. Another excellent work from Eryn.

A macabre tale told with humor and energy. Set in a Victorian-era, but using modern language, you'll come for the creepy vibe and stay for the smart examination of feminism and religious dogma. Also..this is the kind of play where the twists have twists and then there's another twist!
