Welcome Homesick Presents...
The Yellow Wallpaper
By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Adapted for the stage by Aziza Afzal

July 26th & 27th
August 2nd & 3rd
8pm

Local Maryland theater collective Welcome Homesick Productions returns this summer with their latest play, The Yellow Wallpaper. The play is an original adaptation by Welcome Homesick co-founder Aziza Afzal, and is based on the Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1892 novella by the same name. It is directed and performed by Welcome Homesick co-founders Aziza Afzal, Emma Bergman, Sophie Cameron, Meg Lebow, and Clare Lefebure, with movement direction by Alayna Baron and original sound by Sam Dembling.

The Yellow Wallpaper provides an intimate look at one woman’s harrowing experience with postpartum psychosis, as the unnamed protagonist is placed on strict bed rest by her husband and physician. Fascinated and repulsed by the strange yellow wallpaper in her new bedroom, the woman begins to see ghostly figures trapped within the walls. This play is a psychological drama with strong feminist and gothic influences, appropriate for ages 13 and up.

Tickets are on a sliding scale $10-$50.
