A SERIES OF PUBLIC APOLOGIES (IN RESPONSE TO AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT IN THE SCHOOL LAVATORIES)

by John Donnelly

“You talk and you talk and you talk. You say these things and none of them makes a difference to me or to any of us.”

A Series of Public Apologies (in response to an unfortunate incident in the school lavatories) is a razor-sharp, satirical exploration of the modern need to self-censor in a world that thrives on public perception. Combining biting parody with heightened naturalism, this play fearlessly interrogates how our every word is shaped by the terror of saying the wrong thing.

This is a play on words, manners, conventions, institutions, and the chaos of our online world—all while keeping you laughing, squirming, and questioning what it really means to speak your truth.
