Bellwether

by Steve Yockey

Bellwether was a nice, safe place to live. Bad things didn’t happen there. That was until six-year-old Amy Draft went missing. As the investigation progresses, speculation in the media and the neighborhood turns on Amy’s parents, Alan and Jackie Draft. But the young girl’s disappearance is not what it seems, and is only a glimpse of what lurks below the community’s perfection.

[Jeremy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Steve Yockey's Bellwether is a surreal psychological thriller that delivers chills not through overtly disturbing imagery (for the most part,) but through a relentless tension and a refusal to provide easy answers. The play may have benefited from including a scene or two in the beginning to provide a glimpse of the central characters' "normal" lives before the suspense begins, but otherwise, it's a highly captivating piece of theatre.

This play is fucked impact… it’s good… but it’s fucked up.
