WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The fault lines are exposed when a seemingly picture-perfect Fifth Avenue family faces the harshest of realities -- the death of their daughter. A father turns to work to drown his sorrow, while his wife drifts into a haze of pills and booze. When their surviving child Avril inexplicably drops out of her prestigious New England boarding school, her roommate Juliana arrives for a visit, determined to lure her back.
Acting as a catalyst and witness, Juliana exposes the gaping cracks in the family's Upper East Side façade, forcing its three surviving members to engage with one another and the tragedy they share. Dance of the Seven-Headed Mouse is a tale of love, loss, and acceptance from Carole Gaunt, award-winning author of the memoir, Hungry Hill.

Indeed, the 80-minute drama, directed conscientiously by Christopher McElroen, sticks to a formula all-too familiar to these type of entries: They begin with a look at the participants in the relatively sunny moments before bad news knocks them into a family-secret-baring spin. When the bombshell bulletin arrives, the action immediately shifts to a series of disturbing complications and, eventually, to a denouement where [...]
