In My Father's House

Originally published in ThreeWeeks.

Part cooking demonstration, part improvisation, 'In My Father's House' is ostensibly about plums, but might have more to do with death or religion, if you're looking for deeper meaning. The performers are in character from the moment we enter the theatre - but who are these characters, exactly? If you need definite answers, this is not the production for you. With only a bare wisp of a plot, the women of Kindle Theatre use their considerable talents in voice, movement, music and audience interaction, the emotions evoked ranging from delight to discomfort. It's never boring, but a certain amount of nervous laughter from the audience seems inevitable. This is theatre that gets you up on your feet to sing, and leaves you with sticky fingers.

In My Father's House is playing at C SoCo until 26 August, every day at 5:15pm. Buy tickets here.
