Surreal, powerful and dark, The Sister is a tale of love and domestic horror.
The story is wrapped around Colleen who to, the rest of her family, is nothing but a helplessly dependent family member.
It’s not too pleasant being The Sister.
She lives in the spare room. She gets called every nasty name in the book. Worst of all, she’s forced to work the machine.
Her only solace is a figment of her imagination, but when Colleen is offered a chance at a new life, she discovers just how powerful — and devastating — her imagination can be.
Ultimately the play is the story of a family, albeit a dysfunction one that hurt the ones they love. This show comes highly recommended.
