About the show

Memory is everything

Homebrook House brings a mother-and-son relationship to the stage through the language of lived experience.

Using original recorded audio alongside live performance, song and puppetry, the production creates an intimate encounter between memory and the present moment. The house is more than a setting: it becomes a container for affection, tension, routine, history and the words that stay with us.

The result is a unique piece of theatre with a distinctive visual and musical language — personal in its source material, but recognisable in the family relationships it explores.
