Melissa Bangs's Playing Monopoly with God, at The Marsh

Playing Monopoly with God shines a much-needed spotlight on the often-unspoken traumas of postpartum experience. In SEPTEMBER 2012, at 40 years old, Melissa Bangs gave birth to her beautiful daughter Adelaide. A month later, dramatically hormone depleted and sleep deprived, Bangs is admitted to the Providence Psychiatric Facilities in a complete manic state. After nearly a month, she is sent home on lithium with a bipolar diagnosis. What comes next is an extraordinary journey back to wholeness and love.
