Synopsis:
It is 1949, and Whitney feels isolated. James thinks Whitney is unwell. Doris is a homosexual…so is Maggie. Maggie is pregnant and anxious. Frank doesn’t know how to help her. Richard has PTSD from the war and drinks too much. Helen doesn’t know how to help him either. Doctor Walter Freeman II claims that he has a solution.

Character Descriptions:

WALTER: Walter Jackson Freeman II. The father of the transorbital lobotomy. A hopeful, ignorant fraud. WALTER directs the energy from his failing marriage toward his patients, who he truly believes he is helping. Walter does, though, think that women need more fixing than men do.

JAMES: The straight-arrow husband to WHITNEY. JAMES saw the advertisement in the paper portraying the perfect nuclear family, and every decision he makes is in pursuit of that two- dimensional image.

WHITNEY: Very well read. WHITNEY thinks everything should be perfect. She also believes she has control over that. She tries so, so hard.

DORIS: WHITNEY’s sister, outwardly timid, inwardly strong. DORIS has always been a lesbian. She cares deeply for others, even when it isn’t in her best interest.

RICHARD: The life of the party drunk. RICHARD is a WWII veteran with a permanent leg injury which causes a slight limp. He doesn’t want to think about the war, so he drinks. He loves his wife, HELEN so, so much.

HELEN: Thrives in her role as the housewife. HELEN loves being a mom, loves being a friend, and loves being married to RICHARD. Maybe she doesn’t know what else to love.

MAGGIE: Pursues what she wants…when she knows what that is. MAGGIE does not accept situations that aren’t good for her. She compensates for fear by pressing forward. She has always been a bisexual.

FRANK: Just wants everyone to be happy. FRANK is everyone’s welcome mat. He is well- read, but not nearly as much as WHITNEY is. He doesn’t know what it’s like to be mentally ill, but he’d like to understand.
