ORIGINAL SIN presents:

Jessamy Harrison is the precocious only child of a Nigerian mother and English father, who finds it impossible to make friends. Then she meets Titiola, a strange girl with extraordinary abilities who leads her into forbidden places. It seems that at last Jess has found someone who understands her. But what does TillyTilly want in return?

As those around her start to get hurt, Jess realises that TillyTilly might not be as harmless as she looks. This is a story of twins, doubles and ghosts; of identity and belonging.

Original Sin Productions brings the dreamlike qualities of Jess’s psyche to the stage using maskwork, physical theatre and the stunning, lyrical language of Oyeyemi’s novel.
