Created by multi-award winning team, Theatre Inspiring Change, The Bruise You Can’t See is based on a true story and research from thousands of untold stories.
A story about love. And abuse. A story untold till now.
Suzie has a great job and a good life with amazing friends who she is out with when she meets Olly. He’s funny, charming and they talk all night, leading to the most romantic 1st date and the most amazing relationship she has ever had. But Olly has another side. And what looks like the perfect relationship to everyone else, is slowly becoming a nightmare for Suzie.
Domestic abuse is rife in the UK and around the world. And it travels across all sectors of our society.
With this in mind our play isn’t just Suzie’s untold story. It’s also Sean’s story, who is in an abusive relationship with his girlfriend. It’s also Simon’s story who is in an abusive relationships with his boyfriend. And it’s also Sasha’s story who is in an abusive relationship with her girlfriend.
Whose story do we see? Whichever story the audience choose when they arrive at the theatre. The majority vote will decide. Whose story will you choose?
