Denial

Synopsis

This production was recorded ‘live’ at the Theatre Royal, Bristol. Wesker shows Jenny, whose marriage and career have broken down, accusing her father of raping her as a child; even her mother and grandfather have been complicit in persistent sexual abuse. The accusations come at the prompting of a therapist, Valerie, who is seeking the cause of Jenny’s depression. But is she unlocking genuinely repressed memories or seeking a facile explanation for Jenny’s problems? The video includes an interview with the author.
