About The Play
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.
Written and co-performed by acclaimed playwright with a disability Athena Stevens, Schism is the world premiere of a stunning new play about two people finding each other, and what happens when their dream becomes unrealistic and out of date.
