CRAVE;
or how to freeze the phantasmagoria
a new play by Lola Bodé
Maeve, Charlie, and Anna were best friends in college until Anna’s untimely death just before graduation. After years of estrangement, a strange-yet-familiar force traps Maeve and Charlie together in combat to reconcile with their guilt and beat the ghosts of their past. Lola Bodé’s new horror-drama, CRAVE; or how to freeze the phantasmagoria, reckons with the consequences of living in fear of grief and throws you into a blur of reality and fabrication.
