Of the number of fringe shows I've seen this year, this is the easily the most ambitious narrative. Watching the main character's descent into madness was fascinating and managed to be done in a way that was both entertaining and touching.... full review

Denise did a great job of adapting this short story into a full play. We get to see more of Jane's progression, which is well written and fantastically done by Tatum.

#SkipItLa The Yellow Wallpaper was the first piece of feminist literature I ever read, and certainly the first story I ever read that took a stark look at mental illness. Through Jane’s journal entries, reader’s get to see her descent into madness in her own voice, as well as the ludicrous treatments that she receives. Everyone else in the story is secondary, including her husband who also serves as her doctor. This play reverses that, and thus loses the brilliance of the short story. The actors did an admirable job with the script they were given. Tatum Langton, as Jane, was brilliant. Especially since the majority of her part required her to react to what was happening around her. Matt Hudacs, as John, walked the line between caring/... full review
