Description
Circles by Rachel De-lahay explores the complex relationships between love, trust, family and friendship through the lives of two teenagers and their mother. Set against the backdrop of a changing city, this powerful play examines cycles of violence and what it takes to break them. A mother watches as her daughter attempts to leave a violent relationship, while on the Number 11 bus, two teenagers form an unlikely bond. As they navigate the challenges of growing up, everyone involved is forced to re-examine their understanding of these fundamental human connections. First performed at the Birmingham Rep in 2014, Circles offers a bold and thought-provoking portrayal of the effects of violence on young women and the power of human connection to break cycles of abuse.
