    Now THIS is how you grip an audience in a short play! Begin with a compelling mystery, give us an explosive, emotional, thoughtfully seeded reveal, and then play our heartstrings like a dang banjo until we're on the verge of bawling. This play doesn't give us a neat and tidy resolution, making it feel uniquely human and organic, but still satisfying - after all, our protagonist gets what she wants... even if she may be losing something else. This emotional play will absolutely stick with you!

    Not what I expected upon reading the title - but much better. Re-Gifted by DC Cathro takes us to a place where grief and hope intersect. He does it with care and compassion - infusing his characters with raw emotion where the need to protect conflicts with the need to connect. Beautifully written short.

    Devastating. Re-Gifted is beautifully written with characters drawn so clearly and quickly that we are drawn deeply into their emotional lives before we realize it. A moving piece and it might want to be longer than 10 minutes - there is so much to this story.
