←Recommendations of Neighborly

I’ll be thinking about David Hodge’s NEIGHBORLY for some time. The arguments presented over potential risks of making yourself vulnerable to help someone in need, the true nature of home ownership and the fragility of the material lives we lead is worth consideration. Unsettling and brutal in its setting, tone and action, this play leaves an intellectual and emotional mark. Interesting and well done.

A psychological thriller in the most chaotic and maniacal way. A play that proves how quickly we can be manipulated and what lengths we'll go to for those who have us in their grip. Just when you think you know where the story is going, you don't have a clue. A haunting read.

It's shocking how easily the average person can be manipulated; to be twisted and turned into something unrecognizable without even realizing until it's too late. David expertly lays out in this dark tale, just how quickly and subtly radicalization can occur. It really makes you think about how you may be getting influenced on the daily.

Being a psychological thriller, this is an unnerving, uncomfortable read. I loved to see how quickly the situation went downhill and also loved the clever, philosophical dialogue.
