Methods of Escape

Penn State BA Theatre Studies

January 2025

A New Play written by Sylvie Vanstory

“A student goes on a weekend homework bender. Accompanied by the imagined

characters from her half-finished novel, she parses through her history and

contemplates her future via her journals and a series of lyrical monologues.

Methods of Escape is a new play about the relationship between self-sabotage

and self-healing, detailing the innermost workings of the mind of a creative

spirit.”
