  • Paul Donnelly: CREAK

    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.

  • Evan Baughfman: CREAK

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

  • Christopher Soucy: CREAK

    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.

  • Mark Loewenstern: CREAK

    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.

  • Sam Heyman: CREAK

    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.

  • Philip Middleton Williams: CREAK

    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.

    A great, succinct commentary on the horror that is modern life. What's on the tablet? Whatever is going on right now. Sadly, Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's play hits the nail on the head. Reality is far scarier than any monster in the closet. In one minute, Floyd-Priskorn gets to the heard of the matter and terrifies us.

    A nifty tie-in to Jacquie Floyd Priskorn’s A SHOP IN THE DARK. Are children facing a reality even scarier than their wildest imagination? That’s a frightening thought, and one presented here with great skill and compassion.
