An unspeakably sorrowful and beautifully written teenage RASHOMON, with three characters telling their three different truths of a tragic central event, their voices as distinct and unforgettable as their differing accounts. John Mabey’s play is a chilling and bleak beauty, a tear that freezes before it can fall.

There is a saying, 'There are three sides to the story, yours, mine and the truth.'
In this clever play by John, he uses three monologues from his three characters to tell this tragic tale. The first two are desperate enough, the effect the events have on them are profound as anyone would expect. But the final twist is a punch in the gut. It's an excellent original short play!
