Photo Flash: First Look at Park Theatre's SCHISM
By: Julie Musbach May. 17, 2018
Schism is a play by Athena Stevens, a groundbreaking playwright with cerebral palsy. Athena's mainstream cannon of work speaks to the experience of disability in the human condition. Questioning the power dynamics between genders and abilities; at its heart, Schism is a play about two people finding each other, asking at what point dreams and relationships become unrealistic or out of date.
Failed architect Harrison had plans end his life. The last thing he needed was Katherine, a young student with cerebral palsy, breaking into his house begging for his help...
As their chaotic first encounter turns into the beginning of a twenty-year relationship, the unlikely couple grow to realise that they are capable of either building something great together - or absolutely destroying each other.
The play stars Athena Stevens and Jonathan McGuinness.
