Complicated grief takes many forms, especially when mourning after a tragedy. And in IVY: A MONOLOGUE, by Asher Wyndham, we meet a character who has such urgent needs and struggles to process them. As the safe space she’s created inside no longer feels secure, the threats outside start to intrude as a metaphor for the conflict within. And the ending delivers such a pivotal moment that both concludes the monologue while continuing the story of this character in our minds.
