“The walls have ears and they heard me even if you didn’t, they heard me and they have been screaming at you ever since. Can’t you hear them?”
Bea, the daughter of a famous writer, is no stranger to the power of the written word. When her stepfather dies, her relationship ends and her mother Abi is diagnosed with early onset dementia, Bea writes a letter. In this letter, Bea finally reveals some truths. Truths she would like Abi to confront before her mental deterioration makes remembering or reckoning impossible. The secrets the letter holds have the power to heal old wounds or destroy a family, and a legacy.
THE WALLS HAVE EARS is a play about family, truth, healing and legacy.
