  • Daniel Prillaman: A Shop in The Darkness (one act version) by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    Floyd-Priskorn's "Live, Laugh, Lobotomize" was a touching, hilarious, and delightfully kitschy exploration of depression and (for lack of a better phrase) being alive in a society. "A Shop in the Darkness" is all this and more, expanding the lore and giving Ramiform the other half of their buddy comedy duo. There is a lot more juicy stuff to dwell on, as well as take in, serving only to compliment the adage that while depression and fear and negativity may not be a choice, choosing to fight them is. And that fight needs as many humans (or demons) as possible.

    I read Jacquie Floyd's play LIVE, LAUGH, LOBOTOMIZE, I was curious where she would take it. Would this merely be a further explored piece of the same scene? Or a continuation? Turns out a little of both. We learn about Olivia's initial trip towards (and ultimate backing away from) the Darkness. Only now, her trip to the light gets interrupted. The play takes a more serious turn here as a more terrifying monster (and it ain't new character Brob) makes it's presence known. Here learn some great lessons about what does and does not deserve to embrace the Darkness. Terrific.
