BWW Review: ARTHUR PITA'S STEPMOTHER/STEPFATHER, The Place
Arthur Pita returns to The Place with the dark but thrilling double bill Stepmother/Stepfather. Stepfather is a revisit of the work Pita first created in 2007 for CandoCo Dance. He was approached by HeadSpaceDance to support a full evening's work and felt it would be the perfect time to resurrect this tale of selfishness, incest and murder. The evening is preceded by Stepmother, a new piece acting as a 'sister' work to the more established Stepfather.
