Brothers' Nest
On a cold winters morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent with treacherous intent. Terry and Jeff’s motive is to make sure their dying Mother’s plan to change her will in favour of her husband - their stepfather - is upturned.
It is all meticulously planned, but there is one thing the boys didn’t take into account - spending an entire day together. Old grudges, different world views and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other.
Brothers’ Nest is a tragic comedy about family, loyalty and sibling rivalries - demonstrating that even ‘brotherly love’ has its limits.
Critics:
“A funny, messed-up and moving tale that’s part Greek tragedy, part character-driven theatre piece….” ROLLING STONE, USA
“Pitch-black… a smart, slow burn movie…razor-sharp, darkly funny and tense.” RogerEbert.com
“The Jacobsons have given us another comedy classic, far stranger than the last.” Luke Buckmaster, The Guardian
