Marrow
Resounding Scream Theatre/Alley Theatre

Two siblings reconnect after a period of estrangement. One is a high-achieving academic; the other is an eating disorder survivor. Both have secrets. As they delve into their conflicted past, they expose each other's fault-lines. Through non-linear scenes and poetic interludes, Marrow explores the complexity of self-determination, within families and experiences of mental health disability.

"Marrow explores eating disorders with honesty and nuance. There are no easy answers here, no easy definitions of feminism, and no easy ideas as to what it means to be a victim, what it means to be a survivor.”

"A play that does more than entertain, it challenges the audience to think.”
