  • Jeremiah's Creeping Arm by Eryn Elyse McVay
    23 Mar. 2020
    “ This story highlights some of McVay's best qualities as a Playwright: wielding a supernatural style to inform & heighten moments, naturalistic dialogue that showcases characters while contrasting effectively with the environment they're placed in, as well as the infusion of poetic language that demonstrates McVay's range as a writer. A sincere and eerie ten-minute, give this a read to see a Theatre artist exploring a genre we see too little of in Theatre. ”
