Based on a true story that took place in France in the 1930s, My Sister in this House is a dark tale of power, class, religion and social systems and its effect on a household of women. Madame Danzard and her daughter Isabelle employ Christine and her sister Léa, recently reunited after their life in a local orphanage. As time passes, we witness how the demanding atmosphere of servitude, obedience and conformity frays at the edges of their relationships and devolves into intense resentment between the women and the structures that oppress them.

You can see My Sister in This House as part of our fundraising evening on May 29th. Your ticket also includes cocktails, dinner and a cabaret. All proceeds raised will go towards supporting a student bursary for our Stage Management & Technical Theatre programme. See more here.
