House of Shadows is a musical with Book, Music and Lyrics by David Fick, Additional Material by Sarah Lambert and Jacqui Kowen.

The original text

House of Shadows was presented in November 2004 towards the fulfilment of David Fick's degree of Master of Arts in Theatre and Performance (Theatre Making) at the University of Cape Town. The text is included in Fick's Master's thesis (2005).

From Fick's thesis:

"House of Shadows is about a South African family and much of the action takes place in the present. As such, the past of the family is influenced by the events in South Africa prior to 1994 but this creates the context for the action rather than serving as the focus of the action."
