Sunk Into The Earth

What do you do when your ex-situationship appears after six years in prison for killing her sister’s husband? You invite her and all your friends over and hope for the best, right?

Sunk Into the Earth opens to reveal a cozy get-together with a tight-knit group of friends, properly enjoying their weekly pizza-and-wine-night, until we discover that one of the group has just been released from prison for murdering her sister’s abusive husband. As the play unfolds, the characters grapple with their relationships and complex history with one another, prompting deeper thought on the devastating impacts of domestic violence, the uniqueness of female friendships, and the intricacies of queer relationships. A love story set against the violent backdrop of an unspeakable act of sisterly devotion, Sunk Into the Earth is deeply honest in confronting the abyss inside us all. Jagged and tender, dark and light, the play investigates just how far we’ll go for the deep bonds that connect and entangle us.
