"As soon as Anita Hegh props herself primly on a wooden schoolroom chair
and glances neurotically at her right hand, as if it were some wild animal that
might escape any moment, you realise you’re in for a special performance."
Alison Croggon, theatre notes

A woman is trapped: in the docility of a domestic marriage, or between the
distorting yellow walls of her bedroom and prison?

The Yellow Wallpaper, a bent domestic psychodrama of ghosts and memories
of menace, is played with haunting immediacy by Anita Hegh. The disturbing
demise of her relationship reflects a society plagued by a modern panorama of
diseases which simmer beneath the facades of family and the patterns of the
wallpaper.

Based on the short story by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman, this
moving journey is rich in emotional intensity, revealing a modern world that
demands conformity: be good and mad, or bad and sane.

The Yellow Wallpaper was originally presented by The Storeroom
