Anna's sister, Mary Kate is developmentally delayed and had her first psychotic break at the age of 15, when Anna was 17. Agniel brings Mary Kate to life onstage via intense attention to detail—creating distinct rhythms of stilted speech, holding her head and limbs at particular angles for particular types of activities, and dozens of other nuances. By simply letting us get to know her sister intimately as a specific human being—someone who's direct; deeply feeling; perpetually frustrated with her dog; and who balances her frequent confusion with a pure joy for being alive—Agniel forces us to see past labels and love Mary Kate, too.
