Wingspan Theatre Company to present My Sister in This House

by PegNews wire

My Sister in This House (presented by WingSpan Theatre Company), which often echoes Jean Genet’s The Maids, is based on an actual incident that took place in the French town of Le Mans in the early 1930s. It centers on the lives of Christine and Lea, two servant sisters attached to the Danzard household. The Danzards’, mother and daughter, are models of petit bourgeois idleness and severity. While suffocating under the weight of the Danzards’ authority and the rigid lines of class distinction, Christine and Lea have only each other to cling to. This pressure cooker atmosphere - part psychological study and part thriller - results in a haunting and stunning emotional explosion.

The play will be directed by Marjorie Hayes. The acting ensemble includes: Catherine DuBord (Christine Lutton), Whitney Wilson (Lea Lutton), Susan Sargeant (Madame Danzard), and Stephanie Stuart (Isabelle Danzard). The production will be designed by: Clare Floyd DeVries/Scenic Design, Barbara C. Cox/Costume Design, Dan Schoedel/Lighting Design, Lowell Sargeant/Sound Design and Robin Coulonge/Properties Design. The production’s Stage Manager is Traci Kaplan.
