Siblings Ruth, Jack and Eve struggle to connect with one another as they deal with their step-father’s death, the family house he left behind and the legacy of broken familial promises.

Written as part of Curious Theatre Company's 2017 Curious New Voices Summer Playwrighting Intensive. Linnea studied with playwrights Kristoffer Diaz and Tasha Gordon-Solmon.

A collection of monologues exploring the intersections of gender, sexuality and mental health as they relate to understandings of the body.

An excerpt:

"I need to pause for a moment to say that this is not about condemning men. The neighbor to crazy is man-hater. It turns out, there are many single-worded ways to cut the legs out from under a woman, to cut out her tongue.

How do you critique and still be liked? How can you be heard and still be welcome?

When trying to figure out exactly what is wrong, I do not know where to begin except for myself. I wonder if maybe I am going too far, that maybe I am just overthinking this one that, really, he’s a good guy, I mean, look at that smile he would never, I mean other than that one time but, you know it’s college and he probably just had a little too much to drink and we all forget what we’re saying and like he really didn’t hurt my feelings that much I guess I was being kinda rude he didn’t actually hit me, it was a joke you know? just fooling around with the guys and maybe I just wouldn’t get it cause, well...

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to feel just so at home in the world that I could believe all that and sleep at night, still.

But maybe that is the solution, to lock myself away; to be crazy is to be judged, but at least holds the promise of remaining un-touched."
