About the play:

Fireface (Feuergesicht) features a disintegrating nuclear family. The play retains a raw sense of the arrogance of adolescence, the teenage feeling that existence itself is a humiliation.

Director’s Note:

I like the play for its comtemporaneity. Nonetheless, we adapted the German play to fit our own social milieu. I have of course tried to retain the core idea of the play: that adolescent withdrawal and parental heedlessness are not only part of a contemporary familiar pattern but also kindle a secret fury, which here erupts in spectacular violence...
