Devil’s Eyelash – June 2025

Sunday, June 15th, a beautiful and creative team of people put together a very maximalist reading of Charlie Wood’s play The Devil’s Eyelash at The ECM in Lawrence, KS. The Devil’s Eyelash is narrated by 4 nuns – Sister Hope, Sister Sadness, Sister Fantasy and Sister Rage – and they tell the tale of two elite sex workers, Chastity and Hercules, as they traverse the apocalypse in search of a saloon at the end of the world, The Devil’s Eyelash. Through this tale, they allow room for a trans-mission of a mythology that acknowledges the end of this world but imagines the beginning of a new one. My arm hair tingles, my heart lurches and my eyes water every time they hurl themselves through the last two scenes of this play. I hope we continue to add layers to our version of this play.
