"In short, 'Mrs. Caliban' is a fascinating piece — it's creative, ambitious, sensual, unusual and, frankly, haunting." –Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"Lifeline's production is an entirely seamless work, with Frances Limoncelli's spare but eloquent adaptation, Ann Boyd's fluid yet precision-tooled direction" –Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
"In Limoncelli’s high-spirited adaptation, it’s a deeply funny story of grief and emotional shipwreck." –Caitlin Montanye Parrish, Time Out Chicago

With him, she finds forbidden love and experiences a rebirth of her spirit, as she learns to question her assumptions about the world. Join Dorothy on a whimsical and heartbreaking journey as she dares to live — and love — unconventionally, in this remarkable drama acclaimed as one of the greatest post-war American novels. By the award-winning adaptor of Gaudy Night.
