Event details

I’m not living with you. We occupy the same cage.

The Pollitt family gathers to celebrate a birthday, but behind the smiles is a family in crisis. 

With Brick and Maggie’s marriage plagued by secrets and deceit, the question of legacy lingers. As the family confront the impending death of their patriarch, a war of truth and lies is waged.

Presented in association with Chris Harper Productions.
