Echo House

Art & Culture

Echo House

Echo House is a part-devised, part-scripted, part-improvised drama. Hazel fell pregnant at 15. Did she keep her baby, give him up, abandon him or was he taken from her? Each show explores a few of the infinite number of paths Hazel, now 65, and her son, Robert, now 50, may have travelled, to arrive at the point where they find themselves back together at the house where Hazel grew up, which is now empty, Hazel’s parents having recently died. Even the cast don't know how each other’s character will respond, what their intentions are or where each of the stories will take them and they get to surprise each other with unexpected twists.

Within the show the play will be performed twice to demonstrate that each performance of it is completely unique.

It was very well-received in France, earlier this year, where audiences said: ‘I had tears in my eyes and goosebumps' 'LOVED it! A fascinating and original take on the choices we make. It might count as "experimental theatre" - but if so, then the best kind: entertaining, compelling and thought-provoking. A really fascinating piece.’
