A Lie of the Mind follows two families, brought together by the marriage of Jake and Beth, and the resulting disconnect between those families, and within their own. The play explores what it means to be a man in America and how ideas about gender and national identity get entangled. It also highlights the struggles women face, being burdened with the responsibility to carry their history and culture forward, when they’re often the ones who get hurt in the process. We see people struggle to connect with each other through deep seeded pain and trauma—abandonment, violence—and it leaves everyone drifting. Memories feel fuzzy or even lost, just like the relationships between the characters. Family legacies start to blur, and everyone is in crisis with nowhere solid or familiar to return to, land or call home Please note: The production contains references to and depictions of domestic violence. Produced by Light The Torch Productions in association with New Theatre
Running time: 2 hours and 15 minutes including one interval of 15 minutes
New Theatre is at 10 Turner St Redfern NSW 2016, Newtown, New South Wales.
