There Was A Time

David Hanson • Semi-professional company

60 minutes•Jade Studio
There Was A Time is a psychologically driven drama that unfolds inside the fractured mind of Dot, a woman haunted by a love she was never brave enough to choose. As past and present collide, Dot revisits her teenage relationship with Stacey – a first love shaped and ultimately destroyed by fear, repression and societal expectation. The play moves fluidly between humor and devastation, realism and abstraction, exploring how memory can both protect and imprison us.
