SIBS is an impressionistic exploration, fast and often furious, of the complex relationship between brothers and sisters. Anchored in a poignant moment - adult siblings dealing with their parents' estate - the play flashes through the many stages of sibling history, from infancy ("This is my little brother"), through the rich miseries of growing up, the alien landscape of the adolescent and teen years, and the inevitable confusions of adulthood. Affection, jealousy, curiosity, tender guidance, us-against-them, deep love and deep hatred: all the cards are brought into play.

Diane Flacks and Richard Greenblatt, who have created the piece both at their writing desks and through physically-focussed workshops, have brought together an array of vivid theatrical elements to express this archetypal, seemingly universal paradox of kinship. Rick Sacks developed his score through the workshop process as well, and will perform it live.
