Steve Yockey
"Audacious, entertaining and chilling, Steve Yockey’s Bellwether goes where few plays dare to tread [...] Was it funny? Scary? Moving? Yes. Bellwether is, in short, fantastic. In every sense of the word." - Theatre Dogs
Bellwether was a nice, safe place to live. Bad things didn’t happen there. That was until six-year-old Amy Draft went missing. As the investigation progresses, speculation in the media and the neighborhood turns on Amy’s parents, Alan and Jackie Draft. But the young girl’s disappearance is not what it seems, and is only a glimpse of what lurks below the community’s perfection.
Bellwether premiered at Marin Theatre Company under the direction of Ryan Rilette in October 2011.
