Exploring themes of personal struggle and the nature of madness, Anne Sexton's only play presents a woman's journey toward self-discovery amidst turmoil. The narrative unfolds through rotating flashbacks, creating vivid imagery that reflects Sexton's poetic style. The structure mimics the Offertory in Anglican or Roman Catholic mass, enhancing the ritualistic quality of the work. Critics highlight its profound emotional depth, likening Sexton's voice to that of a modern, introspective poet. This play invites thoughtful consideration rather than casual dismissal.
