Susan Eve Haar’s psychological thriller Echo is coming to King’s Head Theatre this July following performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in New York.
“I wasn’t born. I was made.”
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, the show will star Amara Okereke and Kyle Rowe as the ethics of reproductive technology, the performance of intimacy, and the terrifying beauty of being made are thrust under the microscope for all to see.
Previously known as Paper Doll, Echo has design by Peiyao Wang, lighting design by Daniel Carter-Brennan, sound design by Julian Starr, video & projection design by Matt Powell, and casting by Nicholas Hockaday.
From Weird Sisters, Echo runs at King’s Head Theatre from July 18 to August 17, 2025. Tickets here.
