4 girls the first letter e

Loosely inspired by the Slenderman stabbing of 2014, 4 GIRLS THE FIRST LETTER E is a coming-of-age story that follows Evie and her friends as they fall further and further into the fictional world of "The King." When the line between reality and game play starts to blur, how far will they go to save themselves from each other and the world around them?

4 GIRLS was previously workshopped at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center and Playwrights Downtown.
