This 2019 piece by Lucas Hnath, a Tony nominee for A Doll's House Part 2, is a ghost story woven through a personal drama. It interrogates belief and credulity about life after death as the bereaved Hilda becomes attached to professional medium Linda following a death and a disappearance in her family.
