Underneath the beautiful exterior of Wildwood Park’s largest manor house is a gruesome and tragic history that seems to whisper it’s horrors from the walls. Mr. Havilland, a frayed real estate agent, is charged with the task of selling this marred house while also protecting it from the prying eyes of a voyeuristic public. However, his job as keeper is becoming more and more difficult to stomach and his mental stability is beginning to crumble. Enter Dr. Simian, a charismatic young man who is willing to look past the grisly backstory of the house and turn it into a home again. However, as Mr. Havilland tours him around house, he begins to suspect Dr. Simian’s intentions may not be so transparent…
Wildwood Park, a one act play by Doug Wright, explores the psychology of evil and what acts of violence we are willing to accept in the name of self-preservation.
