  1. 1. The Shoe Horn Sonata

    Two older women, bound by a shared but painful past as prisoners of war under the Japanese in World War II, reunite decades later and peel back layers of friendship, sacrifice and betrayal as long-buried memories are forced into the open; through their exchanges and flashbacks the play explores survival, guilt, the costs of loyalty, and how a small, ordinary object—a shoe-horn—becomes a powerful emblem of memory, courage and the complicated debts owed between comrades.
