MinusOneSisterMinusOneSister
Synopsis:
Eternal obsessions mingle with the obsessions of our times, bloodshed goes hand in hand with Barcardi Breezers and Facebook, and a chilling portrait emerges of a family irreversibly shattered by grief and guilt. Anna Barnes MinusOneSister is a contemporary retelling of Sophocles classic tragedy, Electra. The teenage siblings take the stage, and loyalties are challenged as each confronts their own grief and guilt. Barnes challenges patterns of blame that persist today when dealing with violence and sexuality.
