ABOUT THE PROJECT
Care Enough is a new play about love in a time of protest, exploring questions of power, responsibility and obligation in the personal and political.
Someone once asked Buster Keaton how he did what he did without getting hurt. Keaton lifted up his shirt to reveal bruises all over his body. When asked why he kept on, Keaton responded, “You just have to care enough to keep going.” With that in mind, a man is taken hostage, lovers come and go, colonialism makes us crazy and what do we do? Care enough to keep on getting beaten up.

"In Care Enough, a man is held hostage by political forces. Throughout the play, he is haunted by his former lover, while a chorus comments on the action that is happening both in the real world and in the character's mind."
