If you agree, then tonight the unthinkable will become thinkable.
In the front yard of the family's home stands a Magnolia Tree. It was Mum's favourite. Three siblings have come together to choose a nursing home for their mother who has advanced alzheimer's but instead Jack, for unclear reasons, will attempt to talk his sisters into letting her go, tonight. This ingenious script shocks and confounds. We're privy to family secrets, fractured relationships and confessions. Personal boundaries are crossed leaving the three siblings with an impossible bind. This gripping psychological thriller has two endings, and the audience vote for the one powerful ending they want to see.
There is a moment in this play; one single line, that when spoken, lowers the temperature of your soul. It is then that you realise that this play, set in an ordinary suburban house, is actually a middle-class journey into darkness. This play is about possible murder, where the question is, in this particular case, is murder wrong? And thanks to the brilliance of the writing, Jack's careful manipulations will see both sisters dangerously wondering, what is the point in rigorously defending a morality they can no longer afford?
Starring Tottie Goldsmith in the role of Vicky, this play has two endings and right in the middle of its most powerful and tense moment you will have to vote for the one you want to see.
Reviews
"In a lifetime of going to see theatre I have never been as emotionally involved in a play as I have in this one" - John Flaus
"Griffith crafts an ingenious script that shocks and confounds. Ezra Bix portrayal of the callous and calculating Jack is masterful" - Lyn Zelen Theatre People 4.5/ 5 *
"The play manages to remain modern and edgy without ever feeling like it is designed to preach or over extend itself. The narrative comfortably sprawls before you with moments of intrigue, devoid of pantomime, and an authentic feeling plot. Running for just over 70 minutes this is a great piece of no frills theatre that cuts to the core of what constitutes a good play." - Nigel Hawkins In review
Recommended for Age 15+
