Friday 22 November, 7.15pm Captioned performance
Twin sisters, Racine and Anaia, were burned and scarred as babies when their father set their mother on fire. They believed she died after the attack but out of the blue, they receive a letter summoning them to her death bed. She tells them the horrific truth about what happened and demands they take revenge on the man who caused all the pain.
“Make your dad dead … Make him real dead … all the way dead.”
Now, the twins take control. They embark on a bloodthirsty journey fuelled by their own fury and rage.
This shocking but entertaining and outrageous play, written by Aleshea Harris, won the Relentless Award and Obie Award for Playwriting.
Brace yourselves!
