Persona 2012 single work drama

'One night, during a performance of "Elektra", an actress falls silent, and from then on, refuses to speak. The nurse assigned to her recovery, takes her to a remote seaside cottage. Very quickly, this safe house transforms into a site of terror and isolation, as patient and nurse grow dangerously close. A nightmarish poem about identity, intimacy and the limits of the spoken word.'
