About the Project

Hannah and her brothers, Scott and Bobby, seem to have stable, happy lives…however, their names aren’t Hannah, Scott, and Bobby, because they’re in the Witness Protection Program. They’ve kept their identities a secret for a decade, but the past constantly threatens to resurface, putting the lives they’ve carefully constructed in fatal jeopardy. Can they overcome the ghosts of their traumatic childhood, or will they fall victim to the tragic cycle of history?

“And what of the Children…surely they can’t be blamed for our mistakes?"

This play blends the genres of psychological thriller, family drama, dark comedy, and horror. If you’re a fan of dark, intense, and complex material, this is the show for you!
