The White Hotel
Wracked with tuberculosis and completely disenfranchised from her old life of passionate activism, Dinah Reisberg resides in the limbo of the Mount Sinai Sanatorium north of Montreal. Lost in this land of shadows, stripped of everything that once defined her, Dinah is caught in a love triangle between fellow inmate Jonah, romantic hero and soldier-poet, seductive harbinger of Death, and David, Dinah’s beau from the city, pragmatic delegate of Life, Orpheus to Dinah’s Eurydice. Jonah’s alluring romanticization of death will lead Dinah down a dark path.
A contemporary Gothic drama that confronts the myths and limits of medical authority and power, The White Hotel investigates the precipice between love and lust, life and death.
