A young girl was abducted from her family at age 3 and raised to be a prophet. At 15, she is rescued. For the past 12 years, she never left the house and now she has to sort out the real world. Her parents also have to sort through a range of emotions as they figure out how to move forward.  

This play, written by Rajiv Joseph (Guards at the Taj), is interesting as it explores how everyone responds to this intense situation. However, it seems to be missing some key scenes, such as when the parents discover that their missing child has been found. It also ends abruptly, which leaves many questions left unanswered. 

Tim Hopper is creepy as the abductor, Mr. Wolf. Emilie Maureen Hanson is very blunt and strange as the young girl who doesn’t have any social experience. Namir Smallwood is quiet and mysterious as her father. Caroline Neff is solid as his second wife. Kate Arrington is good as his first wife and the young girl’s mother.
