European Premiere
In a Dark Dark House
By Neil LaBute
Thu 20 Nov 2008 - Sat 17 Jan 2009


"We just don’t click as people. Shame that we had to end up related"

 

Brothers Terry and Drew are worlds apart. The extraordinary circumstances of their reunion force them to relive the carefully forgotten memories of their childhood.

 

An encounter with a pretty girl putting holes on her father’s miniature golf course sends out shockwaves that mean their lives will never be the same again.

 

This explosive new drama by the controversial Neil LaBute explores the depths of family loyalty with powerful and moving results.

 

Previously the Almeida Theatre has presented premieres of LaBute's The Distance from Here, Bash, The Shape of Things and The Mercy Seat. LaBute's films include In the Company of Men, Your Friends and Neighbors, Nurse Betty, Possession and Wicker Man.
