📖💫 we have books!💫📖
if you're planning on attending 'the worst of us.' at Pride Fest this week, you'll be able to read along with a real-life poetry book! (and, for $15, you can even bring it home with you.)
we open at Qtopia Sydney TOMORROW and run for three days only. get your tickets now if you haven't yet via the link in our bio.
p.s. all going well we're hoping to do this for future runs, so keep an eye out if you're based elsewhere 👀
[image description, image 1: a book is held up above a box filled with books. the book is a dark brown, and the title "the worst of us." is in large serif font in the left corner. the 'worst' is scribbled out. below the title reads "by perhaps, theatre." in handwritten font.
image 2: the back of the book is held up. it reads "what's the worst thing you've ever done?" in large handwritten font, and then the show's copy. at the bottom is the perhaps logo.
image 3: the book is held open, the foreword visible. it reads: "if i look back at everything i've ever written, there is this recurring idea of goodness, badness, monsters, villains. my biggest fear has always been being a bad person. simultaneously, for better or for worse, i have always believed everybody to be inherently good. ‘the worst of us.’ is a response to a world that normalises violence through punishment, exile, and revenge; a world that demands we conceal, justify, or outright deny the harm we've caused others in order to maintain our 'goodness'. it’s also a love letter to the naive, hopeful part of me; the part that sees the light and the pain in everyone. it’s a promise to never stop. love, emmett."]
