Synopsis
Anna Weiss, a hypnotherapist specializing in revealing "lost" memories, has assisted 20-year-old Lynn in "remembering" a long history of childhood sexual abuse by her father. But are they real memories or dark autosuggestions? When Lynn confronts her father, David, he protests his innocence to Anna—"I lie awake all night, I relive every single moment since she was born, and there's nothing there. There's nothing there." This explosive and gripping play about the phenomenon of False Memory Syndrome is not only frighteningly topical but also prompts intense speculation on our need to have faith in each other, as we watch three lives plummet into an abyss of mutual mistrust.
