The Doll Play: A Miniature Revolution tells the story of a dysfunctional community of dolls who live in the waiting room of a child psychologist’s office. Having suffered years of mistreatment and abuse at the hands of the psychologist’s young patients, the dolls are galvanized to a new vengeful purpose by the sudden appearance of Anne and Andy, two very particular dolls — with a very particular purpose — that have just escaped their long isolation in the psychologist’s desk drawer. Infuriated by the extent of the trauma suffered by these new arrivals, the dolls mobilize their rage and resentment and target it at the ultimate scapegoat: the psychologist herself.

An allegorical tale in the style of Animal Farm, The Doll Play is a darkly satirical exploration of the insidious ways trauma imprints on the human psyche and infiltrates a community.
