Beschreibung

"An expert forensic search into the most ungraspable truths of womanhood." --Divine Angubua, NEXT Magazine Meet Lauren, a journalist in the midst of covering a high-profile domestic violence case while a growing sense of unease pervades her thoughts. Now meet Luke, who Lauren has asked to tell her story to the audience. Through Luke's voice, Lauren reflects on buried memories of sexual experiences from her adolescence. Are these experiences just a part of being a woman, or are they trauma? And does Luke have the authority to help her understand her own life? From the Governor General's Literary Award-winning playwright of Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, Hannah Moscovitch is at the height of her dramatic powers in this masterful provocation about the role men's voices play in women's stories. Through an ingenious metatheatrical device, Red Like Fruit courageously interrogates the messy contradictions and complexities of complicity, consent, power, and truth in the post #MeToo era.
