Little Erik

On a weekend getaway to the new summer home Joie and Freddie have built in the mountains north of San Francisco, their disabled son, Erik, is lured into the river by a mysterious Rat Wife and drowns. Freddie's sister, Andi, arrives with news of a shocking family secret, and Andi's hopeful suitor, Bernie, is as surprised as anybody when everything turns upside down - including San Francisco itself. Freely adapted from Ibsen's Little Eyolf, this new play grapples with marriage, family, class, nature, technology, and how our expectations can derail our deepest hopes and wishes.Mark Jackson is a playwright, director and performer based in San Francisco, USA.
