“When the history of Chicago’s virtual pandemic productions is written, Elly Green’s creepy and timely little endeavor for the Strawdog Theatre Company will deserve a prominent spot.” 
Chris Jones - Chicago Tribune

“Wallace delivers a mesmerizing performance (sometimes in extreme close-up) under Elly Green’s precise direction.”
Kerry Reid - Chicago Reader

“Wallace is expressive, intense and exciting as he allows us to watch this slow breakdown, blending clearly real moments with fantastic descriptions that warp past and present and morph Charlie with the beast he fears.” - 
Karen Tophem - Chicago on Stage

Charlie has lost his job, his girlfriend and countless hours of sleep. Worse still, he’s being haunted by a fox. Fantasy and reality blur as Charlie embarks on a vigilante journey, fighting back against capitalism and​“the Beast”. Set in London, amidst a financial crash and civil unrest,​“rising star playwright” (Time Out, UK) Titas Halder’s dark fairytale takes the audience on the rollercoaster of one man’s obsession. Filmed as a series of single shots, this production is a thrilling experiment in intimate storytelling.
