We love new work, and we are so excited that playwright Rebecca Bauer submitted this piece! This video features Rebecca and actor Jacob Sheffield performing an excerpt from Inside my Head, a new play that was developed through Expect Theatre’s Beats & Intentions Unit.

From the submission by playwright Rebecca Bauer:

Inside My Head is a 45-minute play that tells the story of Minor and Bass, two people existing inside a space that interweaves between past and present, whilst they investigate their identity origins and attempt to connect. A playful drama that makes use of metaphor, song, and movement, this piece investigates the topic of trauma; what traces are left behind from traumatic experiences in childhood/teenagehood, and how those traces impact our ability to connect with other human beings in the present.
