Great Hollow

  • Neil Radtke: Great Hollow

    "Great Hollow" by Jillian Blevins offers an intimate portrayal of family dynamics, guilt, and the haunting specter of tragedy. Set in a dilapidated beach house on a stormy night, the play delves into the unresolved emotions of three characters, each grappling with their own demons. For me, the strength of the play lies in its character development and exploration of complex relationships. Very well done!

    I heard this on Ugly Radio. It's a great exploration of a ghost story/family drama with super atmospheric elements and the feeling that so much is happening underneath. The characters feel completely real which is not always the case with a ghost. Well done!

    I'm a huge fan of comedy and horror, especially that amazing mix in-between. And in GREAT HOLLOW by Jillian Blevins, there's even more to uncover, with each layer both entertaining and surprising. The writing here is crisp, giving a strong rhythm to the words, and the ways in which characters answer each other both directly and indirectly is masterfully done. The satisfying ending also leaves me with ideas about what comes next, and I'm enjoying the characters long after the last page.
