ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Show Home
Kay likes to wander the streets at dusk, looking into the lit up windows of the rich, dreaming about what their lives must be like. One particular couple, Mr and Mrs Perfect, as she calls them, become her obsession; but all is not as it seems. When the sheen of perfection begins to crack, Kay is drawn ever closer to the window and into their life, perhaps too close…
When The Sky Cracks Open
During a lecture, a young archaeologist is forced to confront her deepest pain by the ghosts of her most recent find: a slave and master’s son fossilized in the ash of Mount Vesuvius. As these ancient characters unveil their love affair, so too must the archaeologist reveal her reasons for shunning love in all its forms.
