Notes: | While Reality Matters has been written with two male leads in mind, directors are also free to change genders, making it two females or a male-female pairing, making minor script modifications where necessary. | |||||
Synopsis: | Reality Matters has been written to be performed almost anywhere, requiring no set - just the two actors on stage. It's a slightly surreal piece, as one character is forced to question his own perception of reality when an enigmatic character starts to strip away his many masks, forcing him to think outside the square for a moment. The piece is left open-ended as to whether the events occur for real or in the main character's mind. | |||||
