BLOOD/SUCKER

by Anamaria Guerzon

Ryan, a high school social studies teacher, is tired. He's been spending late nights grading homework, as well as fending off parental complaints about his Asian-American History class, who claim that he is using 'Critical Race Theory' to indoctrinate the students. Then Hillary, the new Principal, arrives. And the students are beginning to act very strange...

Blood/Sucker is a bloody political satire/horror play about the public school system, and those it feeds off of.

BLOOD/SUCKER

Recommended by

  • Nick Malakhow: BLOOD/SUCKER

    A clever piece of satirical horror that examines where we are culturally speaking in a broad sense and, specifically in the context of secondary education. Using a supremely clever extended metaphor, Guerzon explores the ways students, teachers, and administrators alike are impacted by the specter of culture wars, socio-political strife, civil discourse (and the lack of it) in schools. The horror elements are threaded in subtly at first until they reach a grandly theatrical climax!

    A fun and scary ride, for all the reasons. Anamaria does a brilliant job of hitting the CRT satire-horror, inducing both laughs and gasps and spooky moments that haunt. Absolutely wonderful.
