Sin-Eaters
Kent Place School • Student/Youth company
About Kent Place School
Kent Place School present this dark comedy about the St Anne's County Debutante Class of 2000, which has been struck with a plague of lice — perhaps because God hates them, or perhaps because of what happened last summer to Emma. To cleanse themselves of their misdeeds before their presentation to society, the group decides to revive the ancient ritual of sin-eating. Instead they uncover secrets about each other and themselves that will shake the foundation of their friendships forever. The show explores guilt, grief and girlhood in the vicious world of country club debutantes.
Why see this show?
A dark comedy about guilt, girlhood and the rituals we invent to escape what we have done. New writing with a sharp satirical edge and a very particular social world at its heart.
