Elephant in the Room
Meet the Bagshaws. A very normal family.
What happens when we button ourselves up? Keep a stiff upper lip? Put on a brave face on it?
Dark, absurd and set against a powerful soundscape; Elephant in the Room is a close up focus on the minutiae of life for one seriously repressed family unit.
Elephant in the Room enjoyed an Open Space residency at Bradford Theatre in the Mill, featured in ‘Emerge’ and went on to be performed at the Roundhouse as part of Accidental Festival.
