“Long after this ghost story was finished, I was haunted by it.”
“[Second Skin] [c]aptures you from its first magnetic moments and just won’t let you go...It’s a play that can’t be told about; it must be experienced.”
Second Skin
Written by Kristin Idaszak
Upon discovering her estranged mother is dying, Quinn returns to the home she fled long ago. As she cares for Sigrid, Quinn wrestles with unsettling childhood memories. What is Sigrid hiding? What do the bedtime stories of selkies she once told her daughter really mean? When a selkie comes ashore seeking out them both, Quinn must decide if she really wants to know the secret Sigrid buried long ago. Told in three interconnected monologues, Second Skin investigates the fraught relationship between mothers and daughters, and how one mistake can reverberate across generations.
