Victim (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Performed as a one-woman show, Victim follows the power struggle between prison guard Tracey and criminal Siobhan as they come face-to-face with a notorious inmate. As they both muse on their lives outside the prison walls, we come to learn of their anxieties and their hardships as they confront the realities of prison life. Darkly comic and at times chilling, Victim is a thoughtful reflection on modern life and how easily it can be turned upside down.

This edition was published to coincide with Bruised Sky's production at Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh, August 2017.
