This shocking play’s run at The Chill Concept offered evidence
that the dynamics of domestic violence have not changed and
that abusive relationships remain a primary threat to society.
Statistics show that most incidents of domestic violence are
never reported and this is a detestable fact we must unite to
change. No one should live in fear of the person they love and no
one should remain silent when they can speak up to help others
struggling to escape the cycle of violence today. We encourage
our readers and supporters to report cases of domestic abuse
information for addressing these problems.
