Amara Okereke and Kyle Rowe are now on stage in Susan Eve Haar’s play Echo, which is running at King’s Head Theatre until Sunday, August 17.
At a secluded B&B in upstate New York, a couple arrives to celebrate their tenth anniversary. The room is romantic, garish, off-kilter. So is she. Unstable, sensual, unpredictable – she wants something dangerous. He’s desperate to please her. But as champagne flows and erotic games escalate, the night spirals into something darker, more surreal… until a baby, a blade, and a secret crack everything open.
Twenty years later, another couple returns to the same room to scatter her mother’s ashes. But something lingers in the wallpaper, in the fan’s rhythmic hum, in the echoes of the past. She’s never been here before, at least not this version of her…
Directed by Abigail Zealey Bess, Echo has design by Peiyao Wang, lighting design by Daniel Carter-Brennan, sound design by Julian Starr, video and projection design by Matt Powell and casting by Nicholas Hockaday. It is produced by Weird Sisters.
Previously named Paper Doll, Echo has had runs at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and 59E69 in New York.
