Synopsis

Inspired by a missing scene in Crime and Punishment , We Will Not Describe the Conversation follows a massage therapist whose latest client has come with the news that her estranged brother has committed a heinous crime and is nowhere to be found.

The women try to piece together how this happened, while also uncovering their own dark desires and the fear that they will one day turn out like him.

Press Reviews

"From a mysterious sentence to a thrilling play, We Will Not Describe The Conversation is a gripping parable about murder and memory. Eugenie Carabatsos excitingly explores ideas and nuances of repressed femme power in stark contrast to the violent reality of masculinity and the overwhelmingly patriarchal world we live in today."
— T. Reid Kirtley

"A well structured and gripping surreally real play. Resentment and remorse, these emotions are played against each other in such a way that they twist you round and round till you dare not even breathe, and then when you think it is safe to breathe, it twists you again."
— Cynthia Clay
