Feathers and Teeth

Feathers and Teeth $13

Charise Castro Smith

Published by Dramatists Play Service

2 Male 2 Female

An imaginative, bone-chilling, and wildly funny play brings the notion of dysfunctional family drama to sensationally scary heights

Home-sweet-home turns into a haunted house for thirteen-year-old Chris when Carol - her father's new fiancée - moves in

Struggling with the recent death of her mother, Chris is convinced Carol is evil

But she just can't persuade Dad

And when a mysterious, potentially dangerous, but kind of cute creature is found in the family's backyard, Chris assumes it's a sign from above

A sign to eliminate Carol once and for all

REVIEWS

"Smith proves herself to be a cheeky, subversive playwright with a keen ear for menace and humor. Feathers and Teeth is three things: a send-up of classic family sitcoms such as The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch an innovative addition to the horror genre, and a disturbing metaphorical plunge into the scary mind of a teenager who may or may not be on her way to becoming a psychopath The over-the-top bloodshed is hilarious[until] you're whiplashed back into the realization that growing up - for all its sitcom-worthy absurdities - can also be genuinely horrifying" ~ TheaterMania.com

" unusual and promising genuinely moving Smith has drawn such a rich picture of a loving mother and a daughter who simply cannot imagine life without her best friend. That part of this piece is so well constructed and truthful, it only intensifies the horror-genre elements of the play fresh, gutsy and disturbing" ~ Chicago Tribune
