As defiance and division mount, surely more bodies will fall to the ground. . .Lung Ha's theatre Company are renowned inclusive theatre specialists and CATS award winners.

Tunnel Visions

Synopsis:
Inspired by the true story of Homer and Langley Collyer, two eccentric reclusive brothers who lived in Harlem, New York, in the 1940s, Tunnel Visions explores their isolated and obsessive lives and deaths, which dominated headlines in the New York Times for many weeks. Over 18 years Langley, an inventor, dedicated his life to curing his brother's illness by feeding him one hundred oranges a week, only leaving the house at night for fear of human contact; barricading it with 134 tons of junk.
