About
Her words cut deep.
Teddy's a world-famous playwright, in the mold of David Mamet, but for the past year he's been stuck. His assignment to write a play about Emily Dickinson should have been simple. But, it has turned into pure obsession. He's combed through every letter she's written, every poem she's labored over and every academic book about her unique eccentricity. She's come to life, like magic, in his office, seducing him, torturing him, begging him to uncover the secret she has woven in between the lines of her text. And tonight, he's finally figured her out.
So, why is Teddy holding a loaded gun to his own head?
In a Jacob's Ladder-like mad stumble in and out of reality, we'll experience the magic of Emily Dickinson's words as we discover both her secret abuse and the fact that Teddy's research has triggered memories of his own abuse. But, what finally causes him to pull that trigger is even more disturbing than we could have imagined.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
