Home
depicts an unsuspecting family's confrontation with the unknown and the villagers' revelation of
a horrific truth. Shadow puppetry serves as the "motionless dolls" of the family inside, as the
observers peer in on their happiness and discern their fate.

"When we lose one we
love, our bitterest
tears are called forth
by the memory of
hours when we loved
not enough." -
Maurice Maeterlinck
Below are the photos of Andrea, Jennifer, and Isaac (not shown) creating the black and white shadow puppetry
video montage that plays an integral part of Home. As seen in the above production photos, the video plays
against the wall in the background and the actors act/react to and around the pre-programmed puppetry.
If you would like more information about this production, if you would like to see the video of the background shadow
puppetry, or if you would like to book a performance of this one-act play, please contact Jennifer Rathbone via email.
