Gone
Production info:
Company: Guts&Guile Productions
Directed by: Laura Raboud
Written by: Sarah Van Tassel
Starring: Cody Porter, Sarah Van Tassel, James Hees
Questioning the domestic constructs which trap us without exit, Gone is an intriguing look at the possible reasons behind one woman’s disappearance. What should be an emotionally charged, heart-wrenching tale of a mother and wife gone missing instead flatlines: long, awkward pauses between scenes and extensive stretches of empty stage time set a laborious pace which undermines the tension and desperation of a troubling situation. The script hints at a fascinatingly dark examination of the happy housewife phenomenon and has sincere potential to become a thrillingly intense and provocative piece of theatre.
