Debris: Messy, How it Should Be ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Debris revolves around Tom and Kaia, ex-lovers who reunite after two years, sparked by the success of Kaia’s new play that draws heavily from their past relationship. Right from the outset, you can feel the tension and unresolved feelings between them, and it sets the stage for an emotional rollercoaster.

What I found particularly fascinating was how the narrative unfolded—Tom, in a creative twist, begins to rewrite Kaia’s script, leading to a powerful clash of perspectives that really made me think. The play expertly blurs the lines between reality and fiction, as both characters share their side of the story. This aspect made for an engaging experience, allowing the audience to grapple with the complexities of their breakup and question what really went wrong.

The way Debris delves into the messiness of young love is spot on. It captures the bittersweet essence of heartbreak and really resonates with anyone who has navigated the ups and downs of dating in their twenties. The script balances humor and heart perfectly, giving a refreshing take on themes of memory, truth, and communication failures.

By the end, I felt a sense of reflection—not just on Tom and Kaia’s relationship, but on relationships in general. The play manages to encapsulate the awkwardness and confusion of young love while encouraging us to question our own narratives. If you’re looking for a play that’s both thought-provoking and relatable. It’s a beautiful reminder of how messy love can be, and how our stories shape our understanding of it all.

Beautiful. Messy. A testament to the enduring power of love and the diverse ways in which our personal stories define our understanding of it all. Recommended.
