Schism

Athena Stevens

'‘I never wanted to change, in case you didn’t like it’ Failed architect Harrison has plans to make tonight the last night of his life. What he doesn’t need is Katherine, a young student with cerebral palsy, breaking into his house in her wheelchair 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. Following the journey of Harrison and Katherine, Schism is about two people finding each other, and what happens when their dream becomes unrealistic and out of date. Schism received its world premiere at the Finborough Theatre, London, in April 2016.
