Jacquie why do you do this to me! "Here's the Thing" is a brilliantly constructed thriller that sees young people fleeing from a 'them' but all is not is as it first appears, where would be the fun in that.

The audience may anticipate the outcome, but even if they do, watching as Kerry and Cal deal with the approaching inexorable horror, trying not to shout to them to... The fact that the unnamed monster goes for the popular people first is part of the suspense. This is an all-consuming story.

In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar, “It’s a trap!” This clever, scary, quick horror play has all the ingredients for a spine tingling evening at the theater!

09.14.25 - This is a deeply unsettling story from Jacquie Floyd in that it makes us question who we trust when we absolutely need it the most, and then combines that betrayal in a setting that is increasingly suspect in our society, the classroom. Combining elements of John Carpenter's The Thing along with films like Assassination Nation, this horror tale is timely, with a sense of dread inevitability that dark forces are coming for us. And there's nothing we can do. This was riveting.
