I’ll Be Your Villain

written by Chelsea Sutton

Synopsis

Bennett wants to tell you a story. A story about how she became a villain. No. How they cast her as the bad guy without her consent. The story really begins with a mask of a bird and a friendship betrayed, but it ends today, when Bennett’s aunt dies in the garden of a haunted house, where every night you can hear the fireworks from the theme park down the road. Bennett didn’t audition for the villain, but if the costume fits… I’ll Be Your Villain is a new dark comedy about grief, betrayal, and losing the arc of your own story.
