“Bridget is my pseudonym 

My thinly-veiled attempt to make sense-
To add structure-
Dramatic structure-
A beginning, middle, and end-
To a thing that has none”

A poetic semi-autobiographical journey by award-winning playwright Deanna Strasse. 

“Bridget” looks back on her life and ponders how she got here.  A story about complacency, William Shakespeare, the theatre, parasocial relationships, and what ducks can teach us about feminism.   

Content Warning: Mental health, suicide ideology, body dysmorphia, death and dying, sexual content, sexism and misogyny.
