Tightrope productions present blavatsky's Tower by moira buffini
Wednesday - Saturday//1st week//tt17
On the twenty-fifth floor of a monstrous tower block Hector Blavatsky - visionary, architect and patriarch - dominates his family with God-like authority. Fearful of being tainted by the rest of humanity below (‘the crushed’) the Blavatskys are in full retreat from the world. But Hector is dying. And when an outsider arrives in their miniature universe, the family must finally consider flying the nest and joining the crushed - but at what cost?
Moira Buffini’s black comedy takes a wry look at that most dysfunctional of establishments: the family.
