In this chilling adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s short story, a new mother is confined to her room for bedrest. However, her “rest cure” is anything but, as she begins to see things behind the yellow wallpaper that dominates her bedroom. As she becomes more isolated, her grip on her sanity becomes more and more loose until she is forced to face the demons without and within.
Schools: This play is ambitious for schools. Some material may be objectionable, and some students (and parents) may be sensitive to central themes and elements within.

Synopsis
Helen Raymond is an affluent new mother, separated from her newborn child and confined to her bedroom for bedrest. This “rest cure” is supported by her physician husband, John Raymond.
