CHI RHO (2022)

The author writes himself and the audience sees themselves in the work, or maybe not.

Unpublished script by British author Harry B. Scott, Chi Rho is the story of ten people whose lives are drastically affected by an inevitable event. In the hours, days and weeks that follow, these seemingly disconnected souls reveal the intricate web of relationships that unite them.

Chi Rho was born from a fragmented mind, a timeless space, in a cloudy time. The action begins with the end, a death like so many others, and, therefore, inconsequential. From this end comes a new beginning, a possibility of renewal for the people for whom this death brought real consequences. Chi Rho occurs in that interval, that period of opportunity between the beginning and action, always reflecting the mind that created it: fragmented, timeless and cloudy. The nature of this script lives, like its characters, out of the possibility of change, of the sad endings that turn into joyful beginnings, of the silences spoken when words end.
