My Sister In This House
 by Wendy Kesselman

Produced by IntuThink
Directed by Hanna Wiles
Cast: Hanna Waite, Georgia Clare, Shelley Hill and Keeley Harker

Winner of the Playbill Award and produced to acclaim at the Actors Theatre of Louisville originally, and at NYC's Second Stage.

This extraordinary all-woman drama is set in provincial France in the early 1930's. Two young, country sisters enter domestic service in the bourgeois household of a penurious widow and her homely daughter. Neither pair speaks to the other: two sets of women separated and confined by social convention, personality, and the house itself. The relationship of the sisters slowly evolves into obsession, brought about by isolation and by emotions left from childhood. Trapped in a garret room, the sisters' violent downstairs-upstairs collision with Madame Danzard and the lumpy Isabelle seems certain.

"A subtle, almost tender study of four lonely women whose strange and complex relationship ends in an outrage of violence . . . A haunting beauty of a play" - N.Y. Post
