Marrow

produced by Resounding Scream Theatre & Alley Theatre (2016)
​

Two siblings connect after a period of estrangement. One is a high-achieving academic researching witchcraft trials; 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.

In a dark studio, two performers kneel facing each other and holding hands. A circle of lit candles in glass jars surrounds them.
