The Doll
The Doll is an original play written by EPIC Player Kim Carter. This is her first produced staged reading. Originally, we were set to premier Kim's play on ART/NY's stages this past May. Because of COVID-19, we were forced to cancel our in person performances, however, we are excited to bring Kim's show to life virtually.
Warning: This play depicts adult themes and scenes of violence.
The Story:
Part R.L. Stine book part true-crime, Miss Carter's play tells the story of The Browns are a well to do family in Florida. They have two maids and one maid, Rose, does not like Mrs. Brown but puts up with her because she needs a job. She decides to give their son a blessing for his birthday and Mrs. Brown finds out and fires her because she thinks she is a witch. To get revenge, Rose gives Dylan a cursed doll for his birthday. The doll has an unholy hold on him for the rest of his life.
