←Recommendations of Demons Helping Demons

Alternately funny and poignant, this play presents a unique approach to coping with grief. The ineffectual demons are a hoot, but are ultimately, if inadvertently, capable of helping El to move to a different place in her journey of loss.

Jacquie Floyd-Priskorn combines her unique sense of humor (butt munch!) with her ability to tug at your heartstrings. Here she has created an inspired tale of three demons, capable of nothing more than grade school practical jokes, who meet a human mourning a terrible loss. As this play humorously and wisely teaches us, confronting your demons, even goofy ones, can lead you out of the darkness. This would be a delight to see on stage.

Losing a pet is so hard no matter the age and this funny play touches on that part life from such an original place that you want it to keep going and not ever end. Jacquelyn always delights with her writing. This time she delights and amazes with one of the most original stories read and who doesn't love a few demons in the mix to help you through your darkest times!

What a fun ride! Original and humanizing in the story,"Demons Helping Demons" manages to find common ground between all characters, regardless of their plane of existence.
Without revealing too much, I find that it's not the horror/comedy that it sets its self up to be a b breath of fresh air. In avoiding those pitfalls, it allows the humanity of the non-humans to shine.
Well crafted and engrossing, I would love to see this put up on stage.

Jacquelyn has creative a thought-provoking short comedy with crisp, creative dialogue and a strong story. The stakes are raised throughout, and there is movement and interaction that will both engage the audience and keep the storyline moving with a quick tempo and some nice, feel-good moments too. With some easy effects and some willing, creative actors, this could be a lot of fun to bring to life. Worth your time to read!

Wow. I wasn't expecting to be so moved by this play. It started out in hilarious fashion, the way all of Jacquie's Floyd's plays do, but then it takes a turn down a more meaningful road. A discussion of loss and coping makes its way into the piece and while it doesn't take away the hurt from said loss, it does provide a brighter resolution than we may think about at the time. There's a lot to laugh at here (how the demons get outed is inspired), but more important, there's a lot to think about too. Well done, Jacquie.
