Everything, Devoured

85 mins: 1W, 1M, 2NB, 1GN

Ronald Reagan is a demon. Ronald Reagan is a drag queen. Ronald Reagan is here, queer, and ready to swallow you alive.

Or: when 3 Chicago queers, a ghost who died in 1989, and a satanic summoning collide in Kore's studio apartment, their demons come out with a knife held to their throats--daring them to survive.

Playwright Katherine Gwynn has created a superbly demonic play rooted in pure humanity.

-Aiden O’Connor, Broadway World

Gwynn’s script weaves together an ambitious range of themes: the AIDS epidemic, self-harm, ICE raids, war, oligarchy, childhood trauma, and the failures of the American healthcare system. That Gwynn manages to cover this ground in 90 minutes without the play collapsing under its own weight is a testament to their skill as a writer. Much of the language is genuinely beautiful, and the central conceit — that evil does not always announce itself loudly — lands with quiet, chilling force.

-Natasha Parnian, DC Theatre Arts

Billed as a ferocious queer ghost story, “Everything, Devoured” doesn’t disappoint….Gwynn’s informed and powerful writing is brought to the fore. 

Patrick Folliard, Washington Blade
