←Recommendations of CREAK

This succint one minute marvel begs the question 'what are our children watching - and should they be?' Desensitization of fear, is itself to be feared for we know what may be next.

Wow! So much said in one minute! CREAK is simple story-telling done effectively well. And the ending is simply perfection. Sublime.

I love this! So cleverly written you get fully drawn into the story and it's different levels, even though it is only 1 minute long.

A moving and finely wrought one-minute revelation of what truly terrifies a child. The monster's entrance is quite humorous, the child's response is chilling. So much is said and unsaid in such a short time.

A multi-layered one-minute play about things far scarier than monsters. I can’t wait to see this powerful piece on stage!

This is a delightful, heartbreaking, heart warming minute. It is so deftly delivered that you don’t realize how many levels have just been dropped on you. Simplicity is the guise of genius.

We adults have been poor stewards of this world, and are leaving our children with a messy future. Floyd-Priskorn nails this reality with a seemingly effortless page of dialogue that makes fairytale monsters appear as quaint and reassuring allies against the horrors that are to come. An elegant and moving one-minute play.

They say nothing is scarier, but sometimes, the horrors of the modern world trump even the darkest conjurings of the mind. Chilling and charming, CREAK is a brief delight!

The invention of the light bulb began the decline of the demon lurking in the shadows, and now Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's CREAK with an assist from a child demonstrates the mixed-blessing of our tech society. The closet monster of our childhood imaginations has given way - in this one-minute thriller - to something far worse.

Jacquie Floyd's "Creak" does in one minute what some story-tellers can't summon up in a ninety-minute horror story. It also recognizes the fact that children are a lot smarter and wise than we give them credit for (which begs the question: at what point do adults lose that software?), and proves that the imagination is far more potent than all the special effects can muster. It's a smart and succinct tale of truth and brutal honesty.
