    05/24/2025 - From beginning to end, I lost track of all the deliciously chilling twists and turns within this well crafted ten minute play. Great concept, great plotline, and two great characters for actors to sink their teeth into. This is a must have for any ten minute play festival (especially around Halloween). Well done!

    This play is a wild, intense, and spooky ride from start to finish! It packs a lot into ten minutes without feeling like too much. Definitely a fun one for Halloween or any time of year.
