Synopsis
Animal
Published by Dramatists Play Service
3 Male 3 Female
So why does she suddenly have this creeping feeling?
Did she leave something behind?
Or is there something in the walls?
Her husband thinks she needs time
Her psychiatrist suggests positive thinking
But then the visions start ...
Apparitions of doubts
Past decisions
Future mistakes
Is it time for Xanax?
Or Prozac?
Or perhaps she just needs to forget it all, follow her instinct
And kiss a stranger
A darkly comic play about the underside of domesticity, the complexity of the brain in chaos
And the thin line between sinking and survival
