Event Details

You’re invited to a free performance of the dramatic play “To Kill a Kelpie” by Scottish playwright and actor Matthew McVarish.

In Scotland lore, a “Kelpie” is a devious creature lurking in the lochs. In this play, two grown brothers reunite following the death of their uncle who made them cower when he sexually abused them as children.

Tickets are free and open to the public so long as you reserve in advance. Click here or contact Jacob Wilkins at 512-522-6231.

In this unconventional drama, we meet two men talking to the children they were. Still unsure whether there might be any truth in the Kelpie stories, they face one another like a mirror to open painful boxes of sexual confusion, self-doubt, and shame, while endeavoring honestly to end the silence and open their minds enough to consider what it would take ‘To Kill a Kelpie’.
