About this Event
Get ready for a battle royale! Catharine Holly has witnessed the M**der of her cousin Sebastian, which has sent her to a psychiatric hospital. When his mother, Mrs. Venable, invites a psychiatrist to question Catharine about her story, the young woman paints a picture so graphic it’s almost unbelievable. Mrs. Venable wishes to have her son’s secrets remain hidden, but how far will she go to preserve his memory in this haunting piece of writing? Find out in a pulpy, salacious period piece from an American icon.
