About Abduco
Silver Mist is a drama by Abduco performed at the Lower Theatre. In the aftermath of nuclear warfare that has levelled civilisation, the Richter family endures in their holiday home, operating in a limbo of feigned normality. Josef, the father, clings to his role as patriarch while wrestling with his own inadequacy. His wife Helen takes refuge in broken memories, while their son Mendel dreams of impossible ideals and a life beyond the home. When a touch of reality arrives at their doorstep, their fragile equilibrium is tested. The show contains scenes of violence and strong language.
Why see this show?
A tightly written post-apocalyptic family drama that keeps its chamber focus on character rather than spectacle. Silver Mist explores how people maintain the fiction of normality when the world outside has already collapsed — unsettling and quietly compelling.
