The Watchers

Read Full Script | PDF

The-Watchers-coverimageThe Watchers was awarded to The Broadway Producer List as one of the Top 10 unproduced plays in NYC (originally titled Modern Prophet).

A modern Biblical horror play, The Watchers is a twin sister and brother. The prophet Elijah. An abandoned Angel. And the sign of God’s return to earth.

The Watchers explores the definition of horror, and asks: would we even want that God to return? Do we have that choice?
