The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper is a semi-autobiographical story written by Charlottle Perkins Gilman in 1892 based on her personal experiences during a difficult period after the birth of her child. Her husband imposed an unproven treatment called “the rest cure” to treat her post-partum depression. Under the supervision of a quack doctor who insisted on the cessation of all Charlotte’s creative and intellectual activity, the treatment ultimately demanded that she give up her opportunities, her art, and ultimately her personal autonomy. In this adapted stage version, Dr. John Stetson removes his wife from being treated in an asylum after the birth of their child and brings her to a run-down estate to recover. Though she seems to improve initially, she is haunted by mysterious figures that she perceives in the yellow wallpaper of the room to which she is confined. As her depression worsens, terrible secrets from her past are revealed that eventually drive her descent into madness Written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman Adapted for the stage by Jeff Davis Directed by Faith Sanders Produced by Emily M.
