Beautifully haunting. A deep dive into debilitating depression, that's also filled with horror and humor. Kyle A. Smith creates this incredibly intriguing bond between our two leads that weighs the "want" to help vs the feeling of "needing" to. And the creepiest description of a monster under the bed that I'd love nothing more but to see staged. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.

We had the pleasure and honor to produce Paralysis as an online reading. Kyle Smith has written a funny and intense play that truly dives into the psychology of sleep paralysis. One character is asexual, which is not central to the theme, simply who the character is. We highly recommend this play for production.

A play that drowns its characters in the infinite depths of chronic depression. Smith's depiction of the loss of time, space, and self when one is in the throes of despair is truly frightening. Especially when it renders those who care for you most completely powerless to help. Finding light in the abyss is a big ask for someone adrift in the darkness.
