Photographs

Photographs is about nostalgia and déjà vu, feelings which beckon from the past, feelings which are often comforting, but which can also hinder and obscure struggle with the present. This play is about the past—how people deal with it, come to terms with it and move on from it—or how they don't.

Three actors who don't know each other audition for and got parts in a play about putting the past behind. Gradually, they find their past catching up with them and affecting the way they relate to each other, sometimes despite efforts to the contrary. The play questions the role of the past—how much we should learn from it, how much we should use it to cope with the present and how we should move away from it.
