Theatre: W420
Directed by: to be determined
It Comes In Threes is an expressionist piece that follows a trio of sisters who have suffered through the loss of their eldest sisters and her two daughters. Each deals with their grief in a different way. One is held back by the memories of what was and the ideas of what could have been, one is focused on all the hours she took for granted, one is left to cope with the words she can’t take back. Despite its heavy themes, there is still hope. Hope for moving forward without letting go of those they’ve lost.
