Free Film Screening 'All of us'

Family conflict, generational guilt and restorative justice come together in ALL OF US, a powerful stage play by Oxford author and playwright Rebecca Abrams.  

An exciting revisioning of Sophocles’ Electra, the play follows a family fractured by domestic violence and incarceration. As one family member comes to the end of their prison sentence, each of them must confront how to move on and heal.

Following the play’s successful premiere and tour in New Zealand in 2023, a special film of the play (produced by Miranda Warner) will be screened at Maison Française d'Oxford on Friday the 28th of February at 7pm. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with playwright Rebecca Abrams, restorative justice practitioner Helen Lord, former criminal barrister and prison chaplain Harry Potter, and others.

“A compelling story with…great dramatic writing.” – New Zealand Theatreview

“My real hope for this play is that it can help people to connect with a sense of compassion and find hope in dark places.” – Miranda Warner, Producer

“It’s the only thing (play, movie, etc) I’ve seen that really explores the complex journey for each person caught in this kind of situation.” – audience member, Nelson NZ

Content warning: the play covers themes of family violence and sexual harm.

The film screening will be held in the auditorium of Maison Française d'Oxford.
