←Recommendations of The Girl in the Mirror

What a great little piece with a spooky twist! I like how the story draws you in before hitting you with the climax. Be careful what you wish for!

One advantage short plays have over longer affairs is that the audience often goes in completely blind. This horror story is mostly effective because it's not clearly a horror story... until it's too late. Once the trap is sprung and the protagonist's fate is sealed, we're just as surprised as they are. Well done!

The suspense in this short play builds creepily, and just when I thought I felt sure I knew where it was going, Rachel spins things and hits me with an ending that is both a surprise and entirely fitting! No easy feat, to be sure. This would be perfect for a Halloween or horror-themed festival, but it also could stand alone as a wonderful drama that's also a scary take on morality tales. Would love to see this staged!

This is absolutely terrifying! I was waiting for the twist, but wow that was something. Rachel Feeny-Williams really created such a wonderful and scary piece. I'm genuinely at a last for words over that ending. Such a strong way to end a piece.

I wasn’t expecting goosebumps at the beginning, but by the end… whoa! A great acting opportunity for two young women and for a special effects designer. This would be quite exciting to see on stage.

Attics as repositories of the past are ideal settings for drama and who doesn't love a good mirror tale?
THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR highlights the lives of two teenagers, Sarah and Hannah, and contrasts the harsh work-life of an Edwardian parlor maid with the school-life of a modern, spoilt adolescent. Rachel Feeny-William centers young women in this slow-burning horror shocker. It would be great fun for young and old, as we're all acquainted with ingratitude where it rears up most hideously, in our own reflections. What this play does best is hold up a mirror to modern society.

To go too into detail on the brilliance of Feeny-Williams' horror short would be to give it away. Rest assured, however, that it treats us (and leaves us) with the lessons of any classic story with an old, mysterious mirror: don't take for granted what you have, and be careful what you wish for. A great treat for some younger actors to really let loose and play, this is a piece that would be a hit at any spooky festival. Definitely check it out.

RACHEL FEENEY-WILLIAMS’s “The Girl in the Mirror” is a gem. I loved reading it and think this piece will be enormously popular with audiences. There is a depth to this piece and audiences will be talking about it after they leave the theater. Well-done!

THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR is genuinely creepy, tense and disturbing. What begins as a strange but innocent meeting of 2 young ladies a century apart, turns into something quite sinister. With the right budget and some clever effects this could be staged as a wonderful, scary piece of theatre.
