Forget Me, Please

About

What remains when memory slips away, can love survive being forgotten?

Forget Me, Please is an intimate contemporary play about love, memory, and how trauma reshapes human connection. Starring Kala Gare (My Brilliant Career; Six) and Shannen Alyce Quan (Doubt; Six), this new work by Sophie Davis (Nails the Musical), follows Andi and Sasha, who meet unexpectedly in an emergency department while both recovering from brain injury.

What begins as a disoriented exchange in triage slowly develops from friendship to an all consuming relationship, built in the aftermath of injury, confusion, and emotional vulnerability.

Told through fragmented scenes with minimal staging, and a sound driven world, Forget Me, Please creates an emotional landscape rather than a linear narrative. Tender, funny, and devastating, the play explores the contradictions of love under strain, its warmth and volatility, its humour and harm. At its core, Forget Me, Please asks what remains when memory slips away and whether love can survive being forgotten.
