Kabosh Theatre Company presents “Third person in our marriage” from their Legacy of Conflict series, directed by Paula McFetridge.
Commissioned by Relatives for Justice to mark the release of the Eames/Bradley Report, this short drama examines the sensitive subject of victimhood. A husband and wife are having a seemingly domestic conversation but there is a third person in the room: the voice of the husband’s internal thoughts. This voice proclaims how difficult it is to have a successful, healthy marriage when the presence of a dead, loved one is forever there. It asks if there is a timeline to victimhood.
The performance will be followed by a post-show discussion.
