Fall the House by Nick Kaidoo
Director Braxton Rae, pc Amber Whatley
Everyone at the Atreus Housing Project is anticipating the long-rumored return of GHOST. When he does arrive, it sets off a persistently fatal chain of events. His wife NESSA is suspicious of him, his daughter ALEXUS could care less about him, a kid in the neighborhood, OLLIE, worships him, and the girl with kerosene gas dripping from her hands, KARA, is just wandering trying to find her place in it all. And where in the hell is his son BISHOP anyway? If only they could ask that fake-ass psychic, PIANO MAN. The FURIES watch this all; withholding their verdict on the violence for as long as they see fit…A liberal but homagic adaptation of Aeschylus’s Oresteia

Jess discovers that her long term boyfriend Chad spends his time harassing young women on the internet to “blow off steam”. From here, the two stories converge in an examination of the current era of internet harassment, toxic masculinity, and the cycle of abuse towards women in America.
