The Secret House

By Noel Hodda

27 April 1989 – 16 May 1989 Anthill Theatre

Playbox Theatre Company,

New Writing Theatre

Glen and Sissy return to the family home for Glen's birthday. When they all turn in for the night the play begins an exploration of the past. We meet Patrick, Glen's identical twin brother, and witness the antagonism and resentment that lies beneath the surface. We witness Glen return home a year before for the funeral of his twin brother to be met by a family in denial and inarticulate in the face of overwhelming grief felt at the fact that this brother committed suicide. The secrets of the house have been revealed overnight as the family slept.
