Brilliant 50ish Walker Driscoll left the FBI as their top profiler twelve years ago to give her daughter a life without fear after being stalked by a serial killer for five years. This ended after she killed this serial killer, Simon Bell. She left and went to Paris, teaching forensic psychology at a University there and writing.
Now she has to return to the States after her beloved Nonno (grandfather who raised her when both her parents were killed in a car accident when she was seven) has died and she as the only relative, must see to his estate. She returns to the upstate NY cabin that they lived in, thinking she would have time to mourn her loss alone, but is she alone?
A new serial killer , Puck, has a different plan.

Come Again
A One Act play
A young woman with a disturbed past comes to a
deserted theatre at night to attempt to regain her
reasoning and sound judgment only to find that
she is not the only one in search of this.
Playwright Brenda Iovino's play "Come Again" was presented by Metta Theatre in 2009 with great success.
AN AMERICAN PLAY – "Come Again" by Brenda Iovino is a dazzlingly complex construction using the Shakespearean 'play-within-a-play' convention to expose the hidden psyches of her characters -- and perhaps of the playwright herself. Written by Iovino in her twenties, the play reflects the intellectual acuity of that sharpest of all biological ages, as well as the psychological explorations that were one glittering facet of the cultural Renaissance of the 1970's in America. In that sense, "Come Again" is a quintessentially American play, destined for broader horizons. Sandra Russell -- winner of the H.J. Heinz International Poetry Prize - Author of Cafe Exile (Amazon.com or xLibris.com)
Run Time: 45 minutes
