Long Description

All families have secrets. Some families are very good at keeping them… But when one comes out, others may follow. What will happen when you’re dragged out into the light? Will you Keep It in the Family?

Six characters meet for a family dinner. Each has a secret. Each is torn between love, loyalty, and fear of exposure. During the course of the larp, all these secrets will come out – this is not about whether secrets can be kept or not. It’s about what happens when they emerge.

This is a tightly-structured and emotionally-intense larp set in the contemporary real world. It’s about family secrets and the tensions that they put upon relationships.

Play will take place in conversation, around the table and around the room. There may be arguments, raised voices, fighting, and crying: but it is a larp mostly about words rather than ‘action’.

After moving through a quick workshop, the larp will play in two acts, before and after dinner: the actual meal is not included in play. Before the start, and between the two acts, there are vignette scenes that focus on individual relationships. After the second act, there is an offgame epilogue and wrapup.

Signup note. This larp has 2 male roles, 2 female roles, and 2 roles which are player solve selected gender. If it is vital to play a specific gender, please let me know asap upon signing up.
