    A simple premise executed perfectly that makes for an entertaining story and a great allegory.

  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Postpartum

    We produced an audio play version of this script on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 Line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e2). Jillian Blevins has craftily sharpened the edges of this story with a perfect balance of psychological and supernatural horror. As the audience (and reader), this play opens a window into the psyche of the Mother and keeps us guessing if these eerie noises from the baby monitor are real or tricks of the mind. Masterfully written!
