Google Breaking the Binary TheatreAbout the show
TWITCH is a new experimental theatre piece by Breaking the Binary Theatre. Doug Lemons has gone missing in a town where no one trusts each other. His mother Pam searches for him obsessively without ever leaving her couch, accompanied by a twitch she cannot shake, smoking and watching television as the town comes to her: doctors, start-ups, grifters, psychics, strangers and lost animals. In this surreal American town, Pam claws for certainty and evidence that she was ever chosen. The show runs for sixty minutes at the Clover venue and is for audiences aged eighteen and over.
Why see this show?
TWITCH is unsettling in the best possible way — a surreal portrait of grief, suspicion and waiting. Breaking the Binary Theatre builds a strange, hypnotic world around Pam's couch, where every visitor raises more questions than answers.
