AFTER T.S.ELIOT
Site specific warehouse, 2016

“Come in under the shadow of this red rock, and I will show you something different from your shadow at morning striding behind, or your shadow at even rising to meet you…I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”

Remi returns home and can't remember what he left behind.

A Clerk receives a impossible proposition.

Lil has a secret that changes everything.

In a world scarred by war three couples try to reconnect. With reality brutal and the people barren, the truth is a difficult object, and the ability to connect is one not sought after.

Lidless Theatre's debut original play looks at empathy, in a world which erodes it. As the world ends its first world war, people struggle to end their private ones. When understanding has fallen, and values lie debased, how long can people to hang onto themselves?

Based on T.S.Eliot’s poem of the same name.
