They Don’t Live Here Anymore

When the worst happens, the greatest threat arises from within us. On a September 11, a family tragedy destroys two families and irreversibly changes the lives of two couples. Erik and Anna, Helena and Pauli try to rebuild their lives, whatever the cost. But with four different people and four different views, it is no easy task. Each of them keeps in their heart secrets and lies that cannot be buried even by the accumulating years. Can anyone be innocent in front of blind chance? They Don’t Live Here Anymore is a drama of unexpected twists, a story about life after tragedy. It is a play about fragile people who do their best to avoid mistakes, but ultimately must submit to the inevitable. (Finnish National Theatre, 2012)
