Event Website/Tickets
Experience a brand new work of psychological horror this spooky season with ‘The Pet’ by Shane Devon Nelson, only at The Shadowbox Theatre!
This exciting new play, winner of the 2025 Windsor-Essex Playwriting Contest, is the story of the Caretaker and the Pet, who have lived for years in a co-dependent secluded relationship in a tiny apartment. 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 you will never forget.
