The Yellow Wallpaper
| Open: 03/23/09 Close: 03/24/09
What if the one person who has vowed to love you… for better or for worse… in sickness and in health… took you away… from everyone that you cherish? From everything that sustains you? In essence, the sum of yourself. Where would you go? What would you do? THE YELLOW WALLPAPER tells the shocking story of one woman’s isolation, obsession, and descent into madness. The Story: New England, 1891. Jane, a sensitive and imaginative woman, finds herself sequestered on a remote estate that her husband, a physician, has rented for the summer. She is forbidden to write, and must hide her journal entries as she recuperates from what he has diagnosed as a "temporary nervous depression” following the birth of their baby. Without anything or anyone to stimulate her, Jane becomes obsessed by the wallpaper in her bedroom as the effect of her domestic oppression and stifled creativity begins to take a toll on her sanity. Annalisa Loeffler stars in this new one-woman play adapted from the classic short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. One actress. One hour -- please join us! | |
