    This play, a fun murder mystery (yes, I said it - murder made fun) is really about home, and the fear of losing home. It offers a humanizing look at rural life in the United States, reminding us that people everywhere are complex, loving, surprising, and deserving of dignity. We do best when we set aside our stereotypes.

    Straton also has written a piece chock full of easter eggs, so bring your horror movie knowledge to see if you can catch them!

    Anyone who has grown up in a small town or been around small town mentalities needs to read this play. Lovers of crime dramas need to read this play. Lovers of ghost stories need to read this play.
    The way Rushing juggles humor and horror in MUTABILITY has catapulted it to the top of my list of things I need to see onstage. It's a fantastic blend of Tennessee Williams and Sam Shepard's sensibilities with the punch and zip of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.

    Rushing's signature sense of intriguing settings, tight-knit communities, and southern aesthetics hits a stride in "Mutability". The emotional spectrum of this work is truly vast, as there are moments that could incite laughter, horror, or both simultaneously.

    This feels a lot like a true crime podcast in the best way, making it easy to promote, attention-grabbing, and exciting. Rushing also layers in a lot more complexity than your average true-crime tale can muster, giving us heart and hope along with the well-deserved intrigue.
