This short is a dark delight! If there's one thing humans are good at, it's feeling anxious and spreading that anxiety to others. Ubel is such a cheery, carefree elf that - in true human fashion -it is a pleasure to watch them start to fall apart. Silly and satisfying!

Alpdrücken by Debra A. Cole is a delightfully dark and clever play that takes a fresh twist on the world of nightmares. It's a fun, fast-paced fantasy that taps into universal feelings of discomfort and dread in a comedic light. Actors will have a blast with the playful dynamics, and audiences will enjoy the unexpected humor. A perfect choice for anyone who loves dark comedy with a bite!

Alpdrücken is a devilish bit of schadenfreude! Turning the tables on the nightmare elf and giving him a taste of human anxiety is pretty funny and clever. It would be fun to see this dark comedy in a festival! It's a different kind of fairy tale -- both entertaining and getting to the root of the stories we tell ourselves to make the world make sense. Nicely done!
