What I love so much about Demon Eyes is it's an epic story about good and evil, but it's also a simple story about a young woman trying to fit in. Julessa is a demon who was abandoned and raised by a fallen angel and her husband, alongside their half-angelic daughter, Cassie. The play is a wonderful study on nature versus nurture, family dynamics, and self-discovery told through a lens that raises all the stakes beyond most family dramas. Plus the two sisters anchoring the show are rich roles different from what's typically available for women in their teens/20s.
