Showing Teeth

Water entered her throat before she could stop it and she jerked up, coughing and treading water. Her feet searched for the ground, kicking up the muck below her.



Showing Teeth Part 1 is about Muriel, an ex-"party girl" turned linguistic librarian, who is fluent in 3 languages yet has trouble expressing herself and speaking her truth in any of them. After leaving an abusive relationship, she's put through a series of tests involving a mystery man, an old flame, and an international work trip.



Terah Kelleher's Showing Teeth Part 1 is a dramatic, quirky, and mystical story about the barriers that hold us back from healthy relationships. We may reach for ephemeral things, aching for them to fill the void. Yet, we crave true and deeper connections. We just have to step into the unknown and heal.
