This
modern-day dream play reveals what happens when acclaimed poet and Sylvia
Plath Award Winner Margo Adair St. Clair has sex with her analyst, one
Rudy Newlander. She interprets his response as love while he believes
he has merely administered therapy. But the demonic powers of this Don
Juan doctor involve a yearning not only for his late wife, but also for
Margo’s daughter. The play is also a mythological drama starring
Margo in the role of Medea.
