Her Dana is a channeling. You sometimes forget the voice doesn't belong to the body in front of you, but when you do remember, her performance takes on a still deeper intimacy. Twenty-three years ago, Dana, a hospice chaplain, was working as a spiritual counselor in a Florida psychiatric ward. A suicidal, meth-addicted, heavily tattooed patient named Jim claimed he was finding his way toward grace. Visions danced in Dana's head. Could she draw this man, with his lifelong history of incarceration, violence, and white supremacy, to the light? I kind of thought to myself well, that that would be a great addition to my ministry if he did actually come through, get converted and, and uhh make his way back to some form of normalcy, uh that the two of us could have an Evangelistic sort of uh alliance that it would be very powerful. After making an attempt to set Jim on his feet, Dana only succeeds in making herself his safety blanket — life outside prison totally overwhelms him — and prisoner. One horrifying night, he comes headfirst through her bathroom window and abducts her, dragging her with him into an evil season of constant travel, brutal assault, and blood-soaked confusion. Whenever she runs, he pursues her. Her parents will not help; there's nowhere that she can go to escape his seemingly infinite network of white nationalist confederates. After the cops repeatedly fail to save her, she comes to believe the police are either complicit or simply afraid. "I mean, see how my world — everything that was supposed to be right was not," she says. "Nothing worked. Nothing was the way it was supposed to be." When I saw Dana H. in February of 2020, this seemed like the paranoia of a battered woman, a symptom of either her isolation or Jim's own grandiose fantasies. But I realize now I was the naïve one — each day we find out more about how tightly the neo-Nazi right is coiled around our country's spinal cord. True-crime podcasts and a billion seasons of Law & Order have not prepared you to hear the way a man can make a woman's life into a nightmare; this play ushers you inside one.
