'sister lines' by Antonia Kleopa (A Rehearsed Reading)
About
In a near-future world shaped by advanced AI, Echo Corporation allows people to reconnect with loved ones after they’ve passed—offering conversations, touch, and the chance to relive shared memories.Four sisters —Nicky, Andi, Elaina, and Gigi— bound by love yet lived with unspoken tensions, all come to the surface when Elaina visits her late older sister, Andi, at Echo. What begins as an act of grief and reminiscing, soon unravels into long-buried family secrets coming to light, and the fragile terrain of healing and harm within the silence surrounding family trauma.
'sister lines' is a two-hander exploring sisterhood, grief, and the emotional consequences of using technology to expose hidden truths.
*A rehearsed reading consists of actors performing script in hand, bringing a new play to life in its raw form before it develops and grows into a fully staged production.
