About the play

An exploration of fallible memory – its ever-changing presence between siblings – and of the collective sin that bleeds from grief. The narrative is non-linear: in the play's own description it resembles drunken recall, where moments are hazy and events are extracted in retrospect rather than called forth directly. It is, the writer adds, also a comedy (of sorts).
