A verbatim show about a mother and son relationship, using original audio, song and puppetry.
“A mother. A son. My precious boy — my darling boy.”
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.
A short glimpse of the performance language of Homebrook House.
The combination of performer, puppeteer, recorded voice and live song is central to the piece. Press play to see a short extract.

Homebrook House has already been shared with an audience as part of Scratch at The Garage, Norwich.
The Scratch presentation gave the work a live development setting in which its verbatim material, songs and puppetry could be tested together in front of an audience.
