Top of PageEtienne Sisters, The
Synopsis:
I can't believe my own sister would come with this thievery and anarchy to my door. . .' Tree and Ree Etienne are laying their mother to rest when an unwelcome arrival at the graveside intrudes on their grief. It's Bo, their troublesome estranged half-sister. To comfort her sisters Bo moves in for a while and things begin to look up. But can a leopard ever change her spots? Cracks appear as childhood memories, deep resentments and long put away dreams come to the fore. Tensions build before erupting in a confrontation during which harsh truths are said that cannot be unsaid. Will the sisters destroy all that is left of their family and each other? This thought-provoking and honest new play is written by Che Walker with songs by Anouskha Lucas (Klook's Last Stand) and additional songs by Sheila Atim. Set to a contemporary soulful jazz soundtrack, The Etienne Sisters explores what it means to be part of a family today.

Can I put this jumper in the washing machine? Do you have my birth certificate? Where did you find love? How did you do it? How do you survive? A story of a kamikaze love affair with unexpected consequences. Hilarious and heartbreaking, written by Jessica Butcher and with original music by Anoushka Lucas.
