How do we protect those we love without losing ourselves?
Double Telling presents the London premiere of Run Sister Run by award-winning playwright Chloë Moss.
Exploring the destructive and redemptive power of family bonds, this is a gripping story of resilience and survival. Spanning four decades, the play follows sisters Connie and Ursula, tracing the forces that bind them together and threaten to tear them apart.
This is “ingeniously structured new writing” (The Stage) that interrogates the tension between nature and nurture, exposing the complex contours of sibling love.
With wit and compassion, the play draws the past into the present, revealing the lasting impact of the choices that shape us.
Directed by Marlie Haco, this new production fuses Moss’ searing dialogue with movement and original music, bringing to life a relationship marked by pain and a deep, enduring affection.
There will be a Post show discussion on Monday 14 July.
This play is supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
