Mrs Tremblay

Revised performance concept:

The audience start outside.

Sophie and Meghan go outside, their hands and arms are covered in blood. They take Charlie who is tied up. They are all unresponsive. Sophie does a ‘blessing’ whilst Meghan ties them up. They are then blindfolded.

All breathing heavily, they are pushed into the centre of the drama studio, which is lit red. They are then left there with Charlie. Abigail starts singing the ‘horsey, horsey don’t you stop’ nursery rhyme. As she does, Tom stamps his way over to her and ‘kills’ her. Meghan screams, and Tom throws down a stool. Tom continues sounding as if he is killing Abigail as she hits the floor.

The Equus sound begins quietly, and slowly builds. We take of their blindfolds

The recordings then start playing and they see Charlie/ Zoe lying in blood. Rose is behind the audience and starts crying/ wailing/ something to draw their attention to the other side of the room. Charlie/ Zoe then stands and is seen standing when the audience turn back around. The Equus sound and recordings reach their crescendo and we all shout “Account for me”, says staring Equus, “first account for me!”’
