“You will tell her that truth.”

This intensely personal and geopolitical play explores five different stories in five different countries. From Rwanda to Northern Ireland, victims and perpetrators confront each other in a series of tense and raw encounters. As they grapple with trauma, guilt, and the possibility of forgiveness, the play challenges our understanding of justice and healing.

Performed by our Acting cohort, truth and reconciliation by debbie tucker green provides a thought-provoking examination of suffering and the search for closure.
