The Bruise You Can’t See
Theatre Inspiring Change
Colchester, UNITED KINGDOM - ENGLAND
This is a story about love. And abuse. A story untold till now. Suz has got a great job and a good life with amazing friends. They’re on a night out when she bumps into Olly. He’s funny, charming and very good looking. They talk all night and that’s all it takes to start the most amazing relationship she has ever had. He’s attentive, loves everything about her and wants to spend all his time with her. She can’t stop smiling. But when Olly gets angry, she feels like she’s getting things wrong. But then he’s so lovely she can’t imagine ever being without him. She just wishes she could keep the peace a bit better and not worry about losing him.
Domestic abuse is rife in the UK and around the world. And it travels across all sectors of our society.
With this in mind our play isn’t just Suz’s untold story. It’s also Sean’s story, who is in an abusive relationship with his girlfriend. It’s also Simon’s story who is in an abusive relationships with his boyfriend. And it’s also Sasha’s story who is in an abusive relationship with her girlfriend.
Whose story do we see? Whichever story the audience choose when they arrive at the theatre. The majority vote will decide whose story we see.
