Debris

by Dennis Kelly

An odyssey of pain, blood, love and loss. An unreal journey through two disturbed minds, and the unfolding events leading up to the self crucifixtion of their father in the front room. Enter the insane world of siblings Michael and Michelle. Debris is a depraved vision of an alien world seen through their eyes. Debris was developed whilst Kelly was on attachment at the National Theatre Studio. A production by the Latchmere Theatre opened at Battersea Arts Centre in March 2004.

I’m so confused. The first two scenes were good - the description literally made me want to vomit it was so gruesome. I think the most confusing part to me was the timeline because it would change constantly and I don’t understand the plot very well. I think it’s one of those plays you need to let it consume you to figure it out actually.
