CRUSH

By Christopher Paul Richards

After a controversial sexual interaction on a first date, two teens find themselves fractured, spiralling in repression and self analysis. Yearning for clarity, they inadvertently meet one year after the interaction to tear each other apart.

Through exploring the two wounded souls of Cherry and Billie, this play is a painfully raw and honest expose of how trauma affects sexual desire, love and connection. We watch them work through their trauma in real time to learn to love one another, despite the pain it takes to face themselves.
