Description
Lidless by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig is a powerful drama that explores the complexities of guilt and moral reckoning. Fifteen years have passed since Bashir's time in captivity, but he still seeks restitution from his former interrogator, Alice. When Alice's daughter begins to investigate her mother's past, the fragile peace she had built begins to falter. The play raises important questions about the nature of guilt and its impact on individuals and society. As Alice struggles to come to terms with her own experiences, she must confront the consequences of her actions and the legacy they have left behind. Through its thought-provoking themes and nuanced characters, Lidless invites readers to consider the complexities of human experience. With its fine balance of style and realism, this drama recalls the political urgency that has driven writers to explore important issues in theatre.
