    There's a unique poesie to this short two-hander. I would actually like to see an expanded version of this!

    When was the last time you followed pagan rituals to try and conjure an old saint? Never? Then you better pay heed because when you do, you may get a visit! St. Brigid is a wonderful exclamation point to the preparations Maura and Cassie have readied. The play is fun with a foot in the past and present! Enjoy!

    Well, who did they expect to show up after all Maura's preparations? Saint Brigid's laconic presence is a real hoot. But will Maura and Cassie ever get to watch Matlock again?
