‘I thought if I was good enough – if I loved her right – she’d stop’
Jade Winters’ When We Were Us is a story about friendship – the kind that shapes you, saves you, and sometimes quietly slips away.
Four friends meet for a long-overdue catch-up – at least, that’s what Brooke believes. What she doesn’t know is that the others have sensed something is wrong for a while, and tonight is their quiet attempt to reach her.
It’s not long before old truths stir beneath the surface. And as the night unfolds, so does the cost of what’s been hidden.
This is a play about the space between who we are and what we show. About love that lingers even when trust is broken, and what happens when the people who know you best finally see what you hoped they never would.
Because every friendship has a turning point – a moment we only understand in hindsight. That moment is When We Were Us.
