This short play is as funny as it is dark! It's always interesting to see how the horror genre can come to life through theatre, and this play is a perfect exhibition of how seamlessly the two can work together. I adored these characters and thought the script was very well-written, great work!

Horror and comedy have such a fun relationship. Scott walks the line between the two forms brilliantly in "Corporeal Punishment". The jokes are pitch-black but effective. The tension could be cut with a knife at parts. The twists and turns keep you on your toes throughout. I love a script that deals with the occult, and this one was highly enjoyable. Definitely check it out if you need a short play in your upcoming season!
