Comes a Faery was workshopped last summer at the 2010 O'Neill National Playwrights Conference.

According to Irish Rep, in Comes a Faery "a single mother is deployed overseas. Her little girl is left with a less-than-willing aunt. A cantankerous Irish fairy, who may or may not have escaped from a favorite storybook, appears. Has he come to keep the lonely child company … or steal her soul?"
