Description
Like Dreaming, Backwards
By Kellie Powell
WRITTEN:
2008.
SUMMARY:
A college student, Nell is confronted by three messengers - hallucinations - who are manifests of her depression. One takes the form of a childhood friend (Libby), another of her estranged father, and the third takes the form of a former lover (Deck). These voices in Nell''s mind persuade her that her only remaining option is suicide.
The play is made up of three scenes between Nell and her "messengers" and four monologues. The first three monologues take place after Nell''s death. A casual acquaintance (Yale), a close friend (Natalie), and Nell''s mother (Leah), all react to Nell''s suicide. The final monologue is directly from Nell herself.
