My overall impression

Only knowing that this was a one-woman show, I was amazed to find that that was understated. The work that Lincoln has put into this simple script by Menekseoglu is amazing! Under the direction of Weier, Rebecca brings the audience right into her house, her madness, and the darkness that has been haunting her. From the moment the audience enters, and Rebecca is huddled in a corner on the stage, we already know that this is not your normal story. And we are so glad. This show, while running under an hour, takes you on such a journey that you can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief that it was only a play. The simple staging and amazing sound design help to create the perfect environment for Lincoln to establish a world we are glad we don’t live in, and yet sad to see that Anna does. Bravo! A sure Must See this year.
