VENUE
by delta brooks, rebekah carton and harry haynes
“You said you would come back for me, all those years ago you promised and yet I’m still waiting...”
You know the story:
Two sisters born of the same egg.
Helen of Troy. The face that launched a thousand ships.
Clytemnestra of Sparta. Killed her husband in the bath after the war.
Now at the end of everything the sisters reunite; retracing the steps to the shared dance of their lives and the childhood history never allowed them to have.
The Liminal Space reunite with theatre makers Delta Brooks and Rebekah Carton to uncover the unexplored lives of these siblings in this meditation on family, desire and the inescapable power of memory.

MEET THE ARTIST -
The Liminal Space
Bringing together artists from around the world. The Liminal Space creates theatre that crosses creative thresholds. We embark on projects that lift up collective storytelling and catharsis. Our aim is to create and present expressionist theatre that speaks to the physical and social communities in which we operate. This is a space in transition, a space of discovery, a space to push boundaries, a space to be heard.
