Horse Trade in association with The Beggars Group present Glass Houses, a play about the invisible structures that keep our lives together, as part of Horse Trade's 10th season. Glass Houses plays November 1 – 17th Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00pm.
We all live in structures, some we see, some we don’t. Some we create, some are created for us. Glass Houses is the story of four people whose hidden structures are revealed as their lives begin to unravel. This explosive new drama explores the intricacy of our structured lives and the delicacy of our relationships.
