The Pet by Shane Nelson

For several years the Caretaker and the Pet have lived in a co-dependent, secluded relationship under impossible circumstances. The love and trust that binds them together becomes threatened with the introduction of the Admirer, who disrupts their established routines by inspiring thoughts of a better life – leading to a pulse-pounding climax in which the challenges of attachment, caregiver fatigue, the burdens of responsibility, and the implications of societal waste exact a twisted toll. The Pet is an eerie and atmospheric psychological horror unlike anything ever staged in Windsor-Essex… and an experience audiences will never forget. Winner of the 2025 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest.
