SUBJECT MATER - EDINBURGH PREVIEW

 

'DAUGHTERS ARE THE UNSOLVED RIDDLES OF OUR UNLIVED LIVES'

 

Three siblings. A kitchen. A box of cassette tapes left by their mother. On them, titles for every chapter of her life.

Together, the siblings engage in a ritual game of make-believe. As they uncover the reality behind their mother's veneer, an absurd and dystopian world emerges where kitchen appliances become people – the perfect dysfunctional family resurrected.

Will they get out of the kitchen, or is it too much too late?

A form-pushing new play by Nadia Cavelle, Subject Mater is a loosely autobiographical and daringly imaginative journey into the mother/child relationship and what it takes to break free.

 

Subject Mater is written by Nadia Cavelle (Bruises, Lascivious Grace) and directed by Oliver Dawe (Frau Welt, Pink Confetti). It stars Cavelle herself (Tartuffe, Beautiful Damned), Zachary Fall (Poldark, Versailles) and Lorna Nickson Brown (The Bookshop, Of Mice and Men).
