Short play: Tomorrow’s Applause

Under 10 minutes stage play about an abuser, present in any intersectional shape, size or form, trying to extract forgiveness from a victim.

The play tackles on stage the paradox of ‘saying sorry’ to victims that are no longer with us, where history has been ignored, hidden or buried by the abuser. The paradox is found in the victim being asked to release from guilt the abuser, when in the first place the victim didn’t have any powers (and didn’t want power) over the abuser. The short play encourages audience participation and interaction.
