What’s the show about?
It is about a brother/sister relationship. The sister, Betty, has summoned her brother Bobby to help her move some things out of a cabin in the woods. However, Betty is harbouring some very dark secrets that Bobby eventually unravels. The play is very much a psychological thriller about family, the past, secrets and lies, and our capacity to delude ourselves. It is a bit like Freud meets Agatha Christie, in style.
Did you expect to be producing an encore season after the 2012 premiere?
Yes, because a lot of people wanted to see the show last year when it had already closed.
