The world of this play may be fictional, but the crucible of truth it creates is very real. The characters come alive in a play that hits on culture, identity, and community. Not content to exist in the traditional notion of what constitutes a play, this play breaks out into the realms of metafiction and experimental theatre, mirroring the experiences of its characters. I feel exposed to a world I that I myself have never truly felt. This play is an achievement of the highest order, and I am grateful to have read it. I hope to see it staged!

A play that shows a character going through a crisis. Though possibly minor to everyone else, this play shows that it is anything but. A great insight found by playwright McClain that touches on things many people gloss over.

A great little play that twists things around and leaves you guessing. The characters come out the other side with a very satisfying conclusion. A fun play for any ten minute festival.

Though only a page, this play hits hard. It puts in perspective what is happening now, and it manages to shock and scare in its brief runtime.

A great play that touches on memories, with a mystical quality that gives it an otherworldy feel. This play really gives hope and meaning to life, in an affirming way.

The title alone is double-edged, with the two characters trying to find a hidden secret while trying to move past the grief of their own family secret. A fun play with an emotional punch, this is a great piece for any festival.

A play that beautifully and subtly shows an evolving friendship and more, through some very tough times. Both inspirational and suspenseful in its own quiet ways, this is a remarkable achievement.

A very frightening and real feeling play. You start out thinking one thing, and then it evolves into another, but never loses its tension and menace. A play for today that is also timeless in many ways.

Hilarious, zany, but ultimately heartfelt, this great comedy really shows how funny two determined characters can be. Fantastic premise executed wonderfully.

A fun monologue regarding relations during a zombie apocalypse. Very creative!
