About this show
Stories. Everything we are, everything that exists, is made up of stories. But what happens when a story can no longer be told? What happens when we forget? Forgotten is a new one act play from first-time writer and director Richard Wright. This moving piece explores a world where creativity meets bureaucracy and asks the question – what happens to stories when they die?

Richard Wright’s 50-minute Forgotten is a beautifully written, moving play that questions what happens when stories die, and the creative afterlife of the characters who exist within them.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
Richard Wright’s debut writing asks: what happens to stories when they die? What unfolds is an exploration of loss, memory, and what we carry of the people and stories we’ve loved.
