A snappy one act with an unexpected, intoxicating mix of the Gothic (insanity, decay, predatory female), noir, and comedy of menace. Deceptively minimalist in scale, its driving energy is generated by the unsettling relationship between the doctor and her patient. A relationship so cringe-worthy and wrong it’s fun. In the same way watching a house fire is fun. Disturbing, off-kilter, and laden with style, this play’s production possibilities are boundless. I would love to see it staged.
