A body-snatching horror with lots of humor & empathy to provide warmth beneath the chill. The complex relationship between Lucy and the spirit who possessed her mother ( / is her mother? / wants to be? ) is so compelling.

As the characters age & change, they translate to new actors -- and this exciting scene-to-scene trading is the kind of thoughtful theatricality which makes plays fun to produce and fun to see.
