Synopsis

The play takes place in Priscilla's bedroom, in a forest, and in the big blue sky outside. A friend named Peter comes to visit Priscilla. There is a wolf who lives in a fabulous land next door. It is a play about Priscilla who sets out in her mind to slay this beast that lurks outside her window. "THE SECOND DEATH OF PRISCILLA, a look inside the mind of a woman who's losing it, is a play of shifting reality and poetic beauty ... Russell Davis's play, [is] a childhood story twisted into a metaphorical fairy tale for grownups ... Priscilla is a woman afraid to leave her room. Her mind is besieged by an obsessive internal voice, depicted as a wolf disguised as a man ... He lurks outside Priscilla's window. He stalks, beguiles and snarls in his effort to keep Priscilla under his control ... I found myself lost in Priscilla's delusion and moved by her transformation ..." -Judith Egerton, The Courier-Journal (Louisville)
