Desperate lives lead to a desperate, gruesome crime in My Sister In This House. Based on the true story of the notoriously grisly murder of a mother and daughter by their sibling servants, writer Wendy Kesselman won a Pulitzer Prize for her portrayal of the four women's strange, claustrophobic relationships. One bitter February evening Madame Lancelin and her 27-year-old daughter returned home to find the house in disarray and darkness. The ensuing horror is the culmination of months of pent up humiliation. The play creeps up on you, meanings and miniature observations growing oppressive and finally building to a horrific climax.| 9 Jul 97 to 12 Jul 97 | Theatre at the Tabard Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
