THE DECEPTION OF KATHRYN VASK
The Cayman Drama Society presents the play “The Deception of Kathryn Vask” by Mark Steensland
It will be presented by CDS from February 24th to March 19th 2022.
SUMMARY:
Blaming herself for her son’s death in an accident, a grief-stricken woman wants to hold a séance to get his forgiveness from beyond the grave. But when her husband conspires with the family pastor to hire actors and fake the proceedings, things don’t go as planned … or do they? THE DECEPTION OF KATHRYN VASK is a tightly-woven thriller that follows in the twisty footsteps of Ira Levin’s DEATHTRAP and Anthony Shaffer’s SLEUTH.
CRITIQUES:
“I wish theatre horror was a bigger thing. I wish more people would realize how amazing this genre can — and does — do on stage, especially when the right special effects are used. And there’s something much more terrifying about being right there and seeing something unfold on stage, rather than witnessing it through a screen. There’s a more constant threat when seeing horror live, a sensation that what you’re watching really can break the fourth wall and come right at you … [THE DECEPTION OF KATHRYN VASK is] entertaining, gripping, impressive.” —Elle Turpitt, Dead Head Reviews
“In Act One, Scene One it’s a long drawn out argument at 4am with Kathryn and Jonathan and I got Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf vibes and I was here for it! Loved that scene! … The play only gets better, ratcheting up the intensity and the horror from there! I was in to it 100% for the entire ride and let me tell you, it takes some turns and I did NOT see them coming! LOVED that! … I am not sure I’ve read quite such a dark horror play before and it’s a genre I’m now convinced we need more of!” —Lars Skaar, Page Turners and Constant Reads
