A mix of modern gothic and classic horror, The Bluffs follows Eleanor as she makes a final visit to her creaky bluff-side cottage, six months after her wife’s tragic death in the lake below. When a storm traps Eleanor, her squatter brother-in-law, and a mysterious neighbour inside the home, the three of them must contend with their complicated relationships to each other and the deceased, and work together to defeat the dark presence dwelling in the cottage walls. An original play written by Sarini Kumarasinghe that premiered at the 2024 Toronto Fringe Festival.
