The Seer & The Witch

The past and present collide in the forms of Eleanor and Emily, two women living a century apart who both haunt the same corner room at the Elgin Institute of Mental Health. They are each other’s only solace in a story that explores the nature of the female experience and how it has changed over the course of a hundred years, and how it has not.

    A deeply moving story of the shared female experience and the common struggle for mental health. Well done.

    Deeply-layered and emotionally-urgent. Ms. Lane's compassion for her characters, the detail with which she's etched their individual voices, and her resistance to easy solutions to her protagonist's thorny psychology leap off the page together - a thrilling and absolutely timely play.
