Power Play: Competition Version
NEW Competition Version!
A gunshot is heard. Who did it and why?
A darkly satirical, unsettling and deceptively playful ensemble piece. Power Play drops audiences into the hallway of a high school where violence hides in plain sight. Five students navigate power, popularity, bullying, silence, and the realities and stereotypes of high school violence.
Violence is about power. So is high school.
NOTE: This play requires the onstage appearance of a gun.
Also available in a one-act version here.
