DOUBLE PORTRAIT

Written and Directed by Tom Shkolnik

Two sisters. One running away from her demons, the other hiding in a dark room afraid of the world.

The impossible distance between those who ought to be closest of all.

Award-winning filmmaker Tom Shkolnik brings his first devised play to Arcola.

Starring Jodie McNee and Nicole Scott

“McNee’s performance as Jodie is haunting and powerful. Her neediness is palpable, and the opening scene literally made me shiver, something which no other theatre experience has done on this trip. Scott’s performance as the more responsible sister is just as moving.” Time Out
