A Lonely Realization – The Shattered Glass Project @ TPS Theatre4 (Seattle Center)
A searingly personal, absurdly funny new play, detangling the impact of sexual assault on one survivor and the people in their community.
Follow the trials and triumphs of a disembodied pair of legs, woodland thespians, a beleaguered stage manager, the ideal 1950s couple, Vladimir Lenin’s wife, Jay Gatsby, and more, as they detangle and process the impact of sexual assault on one survivor and the people in their community. Can they listen to each other? Can they heal?
A Lonely Realization teases out the comic absurdity of our fear and inhibitions around discussing sexual assault and invites the audience as well as the characters into a space where individuals and institutions are taught to listen, hear, and possibly even understand.
