    A fun play. Tackling important issues in a fantastical way, very reminiscent of She Kills Monsters but with its own identity. Engaging characters. Great geeky comedic moments.

Character Information

This play was originally conceived for two actors, who run hilariously back and forth changing into practically every character in the show. Ideal cast size is probably 3 or maybe 4. The actors playing Persephone and Rosemary never change, but any other character can be played by multiple actors, including the actors playing Persephone and Rosemary, in different scenes.
