About this Event

“I dare you to cut your eyes out with a kitchen knife.”
You live in the perfect family. Mum. Dad. Sister. Brother.
But lately Mum’s started sleeping all the time.
Dad’s knocked all the walls out and replaced them with glass.
Solomon is waging war on the insects trying to get in.
And Emily will only drink Coca Cola.
Something’s going horribly wrong.
A play about family, trauma, and a sofa that has seen everything.
Think Hansel and Gretel meets Black Mirror in an Escape room.
*This performance contains strong language, scenes of violence and disturbing content. The piece deals with issues around divorce, death of a parent, domestic violence and sexual abuse.

Director Beth Shouler
