‘child: the protector’
Performed by Harris Jahim
Written and directed by Paul Falzon

A girl is abused for five years by the people supposed to care for her. A prosecutor channels his rage to bring the perpetrators to justice. A perpetrator lies unrepentant in jail. And an ordinary man becomes the protector of a gift; the chance for a normal life. Based on a high profile local case, this one man play explores how trauma affects the individual. How it can lead one man down an accidental path leading to righteousness and another down a calculated path, leading to perversion.

You suffer from toe cramps, calluses and a sister who won’t invite you to her wedding until you replace your comfy track shoes for the pair of your dreams. What to do? This lively one woman play—performed with success in both Singapore, New Zealand and Norway—tackles the ongoing struggle with footwear blessed with more fashion than sense.
