Written by Phoenix Benham and based on her personal experiences, this play examines the development of abusive relationships from within and around the couple at its center. The story follows a relationship as it evolves over time, depicting moments of conflict, control, and emotional strain. Alongside the central pair, the perspectives of their close friends reveal how those nearby interpret, respond to, or struggle to intervene in situations of domestic abuse. By shifting between private interactions and outside viewpoints, the play explores how harmful patterns emerge, persist, and are understood by the wider social circle.
