Produktbeschreibung

Nobody knows us. They think they do. But they don't.

In a world of champagne and canapés, the five Colby sisters are the glamorous faces of New York high society. With wealth, style and desirable husbands, they appear to have it all.

But privately, the sisters' squabbles distort the picture of this perfect family. Image is everything and struggling to maintain it could have life-changing consequences.

This black comedy by OBIE award-winning Canadian playwright Adam Bock received its world premiere at the Tricycle Theatre, London, on 19 June 2014.
