King Of Shadows
by Roberto Aguirre-sacasa

"Sci-fi and horror are not genres you often encounter on the legitimate stage. Yet in KING OF SHADOWS, Aguirre-Sacasa has concocted a diverting and intriguing thriller by blending elements of Shakespeare and Stephen King…The playwright is very adept at building a sense of mystery, cleverly feeding bits of new information to deepen it as the play unfolds…Just as the audience thinks it has the whole picture figured out, Aguirre-Sacasa adds more pieces to the puzzle, leading to a series of twists at the end.” —The New York Times. ”Both trick and treat, the play's tightly plotted twists and naturalistic dialogue stay so consistently engrossing it doesn't occur to you until the end of the evening that the little four-hander is actually a remarkably ambitious fantasy…KING OF SHADOWS is a gift to the audience…“ —Variety. ”…stirring…wonderfully walks the line of fantasy and reality with touches of lush imagery, bringing to mind the works of smart fantasy/horror writers like Richard Matheson"
