Ties That Bind

1988

Trestle were keen to write another drama and so created ‘Ties That Bind’, a chilling tale of child abuse. Initially inspired by the novel ‘If I should die before I wake’ by Michelle Morris. Both masked and unmasked characters were used, and dialogue and film were incorporated for the first time. The set was full of wonderful surprises as, for example when both school and home rotated to become a fairground.

An original soundtrack for the show was written by Sally Cook and Toby Wilsher. Ties that Bind proved to be very successful and embarked on a second tour with a new cast in a specially formed touring unit.
