Mary’s aunt, Violet (Stephanie Farrell) has brought a doctor (Jonny McGarrity) to look at her and it is decided she should be taken to the mainland and put in an institution. This never happens as forces require her to stay. Things start to take on a life of their own as the tension rises. Mary, trying to communicate with Elspbeth, points to words in books. Elspbeth will start to uncover the secrets held in this island community. I could go into more detail but I might spoil the enjoyment of the evolving plot.

The set, designed by Diego Pitarch, is dark and intense and by the simple changing of the props, the scene changes progress fluently into some unknown secret rooms. There are some simple touches that make this a play worth seeing, I particularly liked the butterfly being released from the Killing Jar.  Illusionist Guy Barrett has designed moments that will make you jump.  The eerie soundscape from composer and Sound Designer Simon Arrowsmith adds to the dramatic experience, as does Richard G Jones’ lighting.
