FAITH.

Presented by Uncaged Theatre

To be a woman is to love and to survive

Colly, Kaia, Mercy and Theo have been friends for over a decade, they’ve been there for it all: promotions, break-ups, sickness, health and more. They know the value of true love, platonic and romantic; what it means to have people who truly believe in you. At the end of the day, your friends are your true family.

A woman close to them goes missing and the group grapples with what it means to survive in a world where violence against women and girls is so prevalent and so affecting.

This piece examines how the fallout from such an event affects women in society. How social media trolls throw their two-pence in, the anger felt when women are told to be responsible for their own safety, but even when all safety precautions are followed, women are still killed at an alarming rate and the disparity in media coverage and outrage when a white woman goes missing comparatively to women of colour. If nothing ever changes, can there even be a happy ending?
