Sibling Productions’ show Feathers, by Eliza Power, has been invited to the Exeter Fringe Festival for three exclusive nights at the increasingly popular Bike Shed Theatre.
Who is more trustworthy than a sister?
Sex, lies and black comedy permeate this modern reworking of Ovid’s myth of Tereus, Procne and Philomela from the Metamorphoses, blending mythological symbolism and contemporary dialogue.
After years of estrangement, married couple Marisa and Dan welcome Marisa’s sister Edie into their home. Their marriage, already marred by interference from Marisa’s meddling best friend, is put to the test. Struggling to settle into the fractured household, Edie finds solace in her new lover Nathan. But as Dan’s attraction to Edie develops, a dark history between the two sisters begins to emerge…
