A series of connected monologues about the sexual abuse of children and the ripple effect of secondary trauma. This is an immersive standing production.

The Downloader, played by Rupert Charmak
searches the Internet for child sexual abuse material.

The Wife, played by Parvinder Shergill
has to deal with the consequences of his arrest.

The Detective, played by Neil Chinneck
is a kind and competent man overwhelmed by what he has to deal with.

The Daughter, played by Claire Wills
is traumatised by her father being revealed as a sex offender.

The Mother, played by Rebecca Loudon
realises her child’s abuse has been filmed for the entertainment of others.

The author has worked in the field of sexual abuse for thirty-five years. He is involved in the training of police officers and others about the motives and mindset of online offenders, and how families might be supported when sexual abuse is revealed.
