ABOUT THE PLAY

“Storm Still” is the story of three sisters reuniting in their late father’s backyard, transforming the task of sorting his belongings into a raw, electrifying reimagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear. As childhood games collide with adult grief, the sisters slip between roles—parent and child, ruler and rebel—exposing the stormy legacy of family, memory, and forgiveness. With biting humor and aching honesty, the play explores how we inherit not just possessions, but wounds and love, asking: how do we keep hold of selfhood as we weather the past together?
