Fast paced and just truly scary. You can sense Deray's love of the horror genre in this piece and he paces it so well. Half the fun in any horror play, or movie, is the set up and we get a great one with Cooper's tale that may or may not be true, but it sets the tone for the rest of the play. It would be great to see this live with all the sound effects and lighting.

Great terrifying short play by Deray which left me shaken as I finished it. We all want answers for everything, and this play doesn't give them which is what frightens us most--the unknown and unnamed which is out there just beyond our door on any given day.

Whenever I read any play by Wyndham, I feel I have another piece of the real world handed to me on a plate. The thing I feel he does so brilliantly is getting into the heads of these characters one by one and presenting such a palette of personalities of these so called "every day" people, but each and every one one of them someone you've seen or walked past but hardly ever noticed. Mike is one of these people, and I'm sure I've seen him eating the breakfast buffet at some motel along the highway.

A play that is so badly needed for our times. Although set on Mars, the lessons this play delivers in its short time frame, really hit home on this October 14 2019, which just so happens to be National Indigenous Peoples Day. We should never accept what happens anywhere in the world without questions, and know that there are always more than one side of the tale to be heard . .. and if that just happens to be with a little David Bowie in background, then all the while better.

Bloodlust is a scream! Who could ask for a better Halloween play than this one? This one is perfect for a “night of frights” type of festival and did I mention it was so damn funny

Becoming Frankenstein brings the Prometheus myth into the new century and does it so effectively with Dr Shelby’s meditative confession to Lt Avery. People will always try to make the world a better place and sometimes to the detriment of all who live in it.

Wyndham never disappoints and “Zombie Teen” delights as does all of his work, proving that even if writing about zombies, he roots his work in the real world around us, and holds up that mirror. This teen has very real issues like most teens, and it’s funny to boot.

I am thankful every day that I work with a company which puts diversity at the heart of its values. Unfortunately, that’s not the norm for most workplaces today and this play cuts to the heart of white privilege at its worst because that privilege lives with all of too subtlety and it’s easy for it to rear back into life if not for constant lessons like Beardsley’s gem of a play. May we all keep striving to learn about this great big planet we all share, and all those who call it home.

Quincey is a boy for today. One who thinks with more than his junk or immediate gratification. Funny and scary, this monologue captures the youth of today so perfectly, especially for a new world where the patriarchy is hopefully dying out and a new kind of man emerging. Hail Quincey! Hail Wyndam once again for bringing the real world into focus.

Conversion therapy like you’ve never seen it. I stand in awe at the theatricality of Christopher’s “Bundle of Sticks,” and the emotions it pulled from me—fear, laughter, desire—as well the creative juices that it fueled in me as I read it. What a dream for any theater to add this play to their season and consider yourself a lucky lottery winner when it plays in your city.
