It's A Small House and We Lived In It Always
Two explorers lay claim to the same territory. These people have known each other for a long while. They occupy a house the size of a small stage, a house divided and subdivided by time and bad habits. Their only hope is an audience.
It’s A Small House and We Lived In It Always is a collaboration between Clod Ensemble and Split Britches, the internationally renowned performance duo Peggy Shaw and Lois Weaver.
