Family Voices
Written by Harold Pinter
Directed by John Lingard
Family Voices takes place in a large English city towards the end of the 20th century. A young man has left home and is staying in a boarding house inhabited by a number of somewhat strange people. He sends letters to his mother who does not seem to receive them. She sends him letters that he does not seem to receive. His mother and sister come to visit him but are turned away by a man who claims to be a policeman. The play ends with the son’s attempt to return home.
With You: Forever Ago
Written & Directed by Brittany Fagan- Steele
Whenever it likes, the past can come knocking, and taking us places we may not want to go. Such is the case for a young man, (Tristan) as he sits down at his well-worn piano with the ghosts of his past (Stevie and Devon), reliving his ill-fated relationship with Devon in an attempt to reconcile his own emotions and longings.
