'Should I
Should I keep going?'
Meet Lauren: a journalist reporting on a high-profile domestic violence case with a growing sense of unease. Now meet Luke, whom Lauren has asked to tell her story.
Lauren's been thinking about a series of sexual events from her adolescence, and something has started to crack. Are these experiences just part of being a woman, or are they trauma? And does Luke have what it takes to help her understand her own life?
Powerful and provocative, Red Like Fruit interrogates the role and impact of men's voices in women's stories and delves into the many contradictions and complexities of consent, complicity, patriarchy and memory in the post-#MeToo era.
Hannah Moscovitch's play was premiered by 2b theatre company in Halifax, Canada, in 2024, and was a finalist for the 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It transferred to the Traverse Theatre for the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
