Synopsis

We’ve all been stuck at dinner with someone who won’t stop talking. One more drink. One more opinion. One more thing they have to say. It’s Alma’s birthday, and her sister Billie has brought her new boyfriend to dinner. Initially, he seems perfect. But as the wine flows, conversations about religion, politics, money and sex become heated, and Alma feels increasingly unsettled by the man sitting across the table. An intimate drama about sisterhood, memory and misogyny, Sobremesa asks how well we know the people we love and whether or not we should protect them from their own mistakes.

Press

  • The New Current

    Perry-Robinson’s text is bold, touching on many salient themes that we’re facing within society, such as sexual assault, being believed, friendship, family, relationships, toxic masculinity, and freeing oneself of pain and fear
