Synopsis
Catherine has cared for her father Robert, a renowned mathematician, through his mental illness for the past five years. His ex-student, Hal, discovers a ground-breaking proof in Robert's office but the question is posed: who is the real author of this brilliant work? Catherine struggles to solve this as well the most perplexing problem of all: how much of her father's madness - or genius - has she inherited?
Our Review:
9 May 2011
David Hutchinson’s production for Sell a Door gives us a taut complex psychological thriller, enhanced by the claustrophobic space at this theatre, with its rocking chair perched on a V shaped portion of porch, that puts the audience centre stage with the cast.
This is a play in the Tennessee Williams mould, having strong characters that clash and combine in an incendiary of emotional outpourings, where grief and madness are ever present and the inevitable unpredictability has you on the edge of your seat.
An award winning drama, it explores not only the complex relationship between father and daughter, but between sisters as it explores the themes of love and guilt. Catherine, on the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday is coming to terms with the death of her mathematician father, who has finally succumbed to the mental illness that had taken over his life for the past few years and now she is worried about whether she too has inherited his disease as she appears...
