    How I felt reading this: I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. This is a necessary read.

    DEEPLY obsessed with this piece (and not just because Kate shares my name). Intense, gripping, and timely. It will haunt you in the best way possible.

    This play grabs you and doesn't let go. By the end you've been taken through every argument in favor of a woman's bodily autonomy as well as through the regressive counter-arguments thrown at us from the other side. Fear the Violinist received a terrific reading at the Lanford Wilson festival, one that showed us how important such plays are in these troubled times.

    A masterful pro-abortion piece that will make your heart rate spike. This play does a great job at immersing you in the world and making you feel just as helpless as Kate. I would highly recommend this play to anyone that is interested in women's bodily autonomy, body horror, and Vivaldi.
    I had the pleasure of seeing this play on its feet at the 2026 Mid-America Theatre Conference!
