THE 9TH PART IN OUR GRAND GUIGNOL SERIES REVOLVES AROUND A TOPIC NONE CAN AVOID: MOTHERS AND FATHERS...
WHEN THE COLLEGE STUDENT ANDREA COMES TO HER PARENTS' HOUSE DURING THE SEMESTER BREAK, SHE IS SURPRISED BY A WOMAN OF ABOUT THE SAME AGE IN HER PARENTS' LIVING ROOM. CONVINCED THAT SHE IS A THIEF, ANDREA WANTS TO CALL THE POLICE. BUT THE OTHER WOMAN, JULIE, CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY ANDREA'S FATHER. TORN, ANDREA LISTENS TO HER STORY. WHEN THE PARENTS COME HOME, THE SITUATION IS ABOUT TO ESCALATE... IN HOME VISIT!
A YOUNG MAN MEETS HIS GIRLFRIEND'S PARENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME OVER DINNER AT THEIR HOUSE. THE MOOD IS A BIT TENSE AS HE IS CONSTANTLY BEING CHALLENGED. HE ALSO HEARS RUMBLING AND LATER SCREAMS FROM THE ADJACENT KITCHEN, WHICH THE REST OF THE FAMILY IGNORES - ESPECIALY THE IN-LAWS! AND IN A PLAY ABOUT THE PERFECT CHILDREN OF A DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY, THE OVERTLY PERFECTIONIST MOTHER PUTS PRESSURE ON EVERYONE. BUT WHILE SOME BEND, IT MAY BE THE MOTHER HERSELF WHO BREAKS... A STRAIGHTFORWARD DRAMA, CHARACTERS WITH DARK PASTS AND UNRESOLVED TRAUMAS... AND A VIOLENT, BLOODY ENDING
OUR GROUP HAD ALWAYS USED DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES – SCENES SUPPLEMENTED BY MONOLOGUES, SOUND RECORDINGS AND READ TEXTS – TO SHOW THE VARIOUS FACETS OF THIS GENRE OF THEATER, FROM INTIMATE CHAMBER PLAY-LIKE HORROR STORIES TO LURID SHORT ACTS. AND „MOTHERS AND FATHERS“ ONCE AGAIN FEATURES OF OUR MOST BELOVED CHARACTERS: THE HORROR-HOST! SO YOU WON’T BE ALONE ON THIS EVENING OF THRILLS, THOUGH IT DOES NOT MEAN THIS GHOUL OF THE MONTH WILL BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU…
