About Snake In The Grass
Think very carefully. If you drop her - if you drop Alice down that well, then there is no going back, there really isn't. They certainly will put you in prison, for a very long time indeed…
Alan Ayckbourn’s spine-tingling murder mystery Snake in the Grass comes to thrilling new life in a new production from Dundee Rep Theatre. Directed by Andrew Panton, this haunting play follows two sisters, returning to their childhood home after the death of their father. As the day turns to night, they begin to confront their dark past and unsettling present, in a gripping tale of family secrets and retribution.
Deirdre Davis (River City) joins well-kent faces to Rep audiences, Ann Louise Ross and Emily Winter for this new production. Snake in the Grass is a masterful mix of suspense, mystery, and dark humour, guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
