I wrote this to help me heal from family violence. I hope it will help others who have experienced this or who want to understand those who have. Dialogue Set Notes Everything is set in a women's shelter at the present time. The shelter can be quite elegant or utilitarian, but I recommend that whatever it is, it reflect the standards of the surrounding community. The reason for this is to let the audience identify with the setting and the characters.
Abuse knows no boundaries, neither economic, social nor racial.
The main set is two rooms with a door between them. They may be very elegant or sparse and shabby, but must coordinate stylistically. The door should be hinged to open into the meeting room to make the last scene work. The snack room should have a coffee pot or coffee dispensing machine and a refrigerator or a coke machine. A coat rack would also work well here.
