Hello, I’m Daphne Bell. From my left profile I’m shy; from my right, I’m remarkable. I can sing – sometimes I even feel like a soprano. I’ve been trapped inside a claw machine for a long time; perhaps I wanted it, too. From behind the glass, I wait to be chosen, to be noticed, to be valued. Would you choose me? I think I need to hold me on stage. This play portrays Daphne’s struggle with invisibility and inadequacy as she seeks recognition. Social pressure and past traumas become her greatest obstacles.
