Michaelmas Week 3
Based on the events of the Hulme
and Parker murder trial of the 1950s, Folie a Deux explores the tender
relationship of two girls that spirals out of control. Trapped in 1950s New
Zealand – characterised by judgement, religion and the need to keep up
appearances – the girls take refuge in each other’s company. Creating
fantasy stories and a religion of their own, Juliet and Pauline finally
find the freedom they have been longing for. When their suspicious parents
attempt to split them up, the girls panic. Only one thing can save them now
– murder.
