7MRP Productions Presents

Two One-Act Plays in English

Written and Directed by Dana Roskey

“The Up, The Down, and The Strange”

While researching the effects on lab animals of exposure to an unknown alternate dimension, a couple and their slave grapple with the expected rituals of punishment and humiliation accepted in their own reality, leaving open the question whether the alternate dimension may offer a less violent, more equitable environment than their own.

“Book of Names”

Alessandro has lost his faith. He’s also lost his relationship. Alessandro confides his troubles to Laura, a bartender with a story of her own. Through a book of baby names, they find a way to share their stories of loss, regret, belief and love.

“16 MINUTES”

By Matteo Pasquini

“Each one of us has a role and a responsibility in pursuing civil rights and freedom, but it is so easy to acquiesce and to surrender.”

16 Minutes takes the audience on a journey through democracy and civil action as safeguards for citizen freedom in the age of digital surveillance.

We start with a theatre performance that centers on a reunion between the two childhood friends Mabur and Ulin, the latter of whom lives abroad and has returned home for a short visit. Slowly but surely, a daunting shadow creeps into the ambience, when the new political realities of Ulin’s home country start interfering with each friend’s individual fear and aspirations. Will their age-long friendship survive the recent political changes?

After the performance we engage the audience in a conversation about citizen freedom and digital surveillance. We reflect, speak up and share as a community.

A 7MRP Theatre Group production.
