Tales from the Garden follows the story of an unnamed young woman who asks the audience to do nothing more than listen to her tell her story. It weaves through imagery and text as she tries to explain her trauma, fear, joy, and desire for healing after being assaulted in a foreign country by someone that she trusted. Through the play, she recounts the event itself, the circumstances leading up to and following it, and the difficulty that she has in finding ways to explain it to others.
