TheYellowWallpaper
The Yellow Wallpaper is a theatrical adaptation of the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and premiered at the 2018 New York International Fringe Festival. The piece tells the story of a woman suffering from postpartum depression and her husband, a physician, who prescribes her "The Rest Cure". During eight weeks of solitary confinement, she experiences hallucinations that there is a woman trapped behind the wallpaper. Caitlin's direction combines classic text with contemporary dance to conjure a chilling, immersive experience.
