Shake Rag Hollow deals with generational trauma and family secrets. After nearly two decades in prison, a woman accused of murdering her uncle returns home to face her past and meet the daughter she never got to know. 

​

In channelling her rage about the Gisèle Pelicot court case and so many other examples of violence against women, playwright Arlene Hutton crafted a story about three women—grandmother, daughter and granddaughter—all of whom have been affected by the unspeakable actions of one man, a relative, who was much beloved in his community.
