VEIVERS HOUSE PLAY

Play: Compass

Playwright : Jessica Bellamy

Performance rights kindly granted. The condensed version approved by Jessica Bellamy.

Synopsis : The teacher is missing, there is not enough food, it is getting dark and no one mentioned that the toilets out here are nothing but holes in the ground. For a small group of students, it seems their grade seven camp could not get much worse, that is until a stranger appears. Compass is a comedy with a sting in its tail, which asks how far we will go to hold on to what we think we deserve. If we are barely managing to take care of ourselves, how do we treat an outsider? Is our moral compass set in stone, or can we get lost?
