Deborah Bruce’s Dixon and Daughters is a powerful and emotionally charged drama about trauma, survival, and the complexities of family. The play unfolds as Mary, a mother and matriarch, returns home after serving a prison sentence. She is determined to rebuild her life, but as she steps back into the house, she is met with resistance from her daughters and stepdaughter, who carry deep wounds from the past.

As tensions rise, long-buried secrets come to the surface, revealing the extent of the abuse and violence that has shaped their lives. The women grapple with the impact of their shared history, questioning loyalty, responsibility, and the ways in which silence has perpetuated their suffering. Through moments of confrontation, heartbreak, and unexpected humour, Dixon and Daughters explores the struggle to break cycles of abuse and the possibility of healing—if they can find a way to truly listen to one another.

A gripping and compassionate play, Dixon and Daughters shines a light on the resilience of women and the difficult path toward justice and reconciliation.
