ABOUT LINEAGE
An experimental drama tracing three generations of men – William, Liam and Jack – as they confront the addictions that shape and bind them. Through interwoven timelines and folk music, Lineage reveals how obsession, substance abuse and control emerge from the same inherited impulse. As Jack struggles to care for his unravelling father, he is forced to question whether love can truly save someone, or if it means learning to let go. Lineage is a raw, character-driven exploration of masculinity and inheritance that asks if we can ever outrun the ghosts of our fathers.
