Synopsis

Animal

Animal $13

Clare Lizzimore

Published by Dramatists Play Service

3 Male 3 Female

Rachel has it all : marriage, house, career

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
