⭑⭑⭑⭑ ’heartfelt & well-crafted’ The Scotsman, EdFringe 2023

⭑⭑⭑⭑ ‘

This piece of theatre hangs around under your fingernails long after you’ve left the theatre.’ EdFringe 2023

An American artist moves through the stages of grief by speaking to 5 of her fellow citizens about their personal, regional, historical experiences of loss in an attempt to make meaning of her own.

In this meta-style, verbatim-inspired, socio-political show, PIECES OF US asks the audience if –in a Western, capitalist, individualist, & politically polarised society where profit, consumption & productivity are valued most– would making room for the universal experiences of loss, hardship, & grief in our culture make for a more peaceful, equitable, & compassionate society?

Written & Performed by Jessica Munna
