Synopsis
The play takes place in Priscilla's bedroom, in a forest, and in the big blue sky outside.
A friend named Peter comes to visit Priscilla.
There is a wolf who lives in a fabulous land next door.
It is a play about Priscilla who sets out in her mind to slay this beast that lurks outside her window.
"THE SECOND DEATH OF PRISCILLA, a look inside the mind of a woman who's losing it, is a play of shifting reality and poetic beauty ...
Russell Davis's play, [is] a childhood story twisted into a metaphorical fairy tale for grownups ...
Priscilla is a woman afraid to leave her room.
Her mind is besieged by an obsessive internal voice, depicted as a wolf disguised as a man ...
He lurks outside Priscilla's window.
He stalks, beguiles and snarls in his effort to keep Priscilla under his control ... I found myself lost in Priscilla's delusion and moved by her transformation ..." -Judith Egerton, The Courier-Journal (Louisville)
