Control.Assault.Delete

FIx the Hurt is pleased to announce a new and powerful play entitled, "Control.Assault.Delete", a dating and domestic violence primer.

The goal of this two person play is to:

1. Point out common mistakes made by parents and friends in their frustrated attempts to help the victim escape the abuse;

2. Bring to light common tactics used by abusers to trap victims into a rigidly controlled relationship, and

3. Point out to abusers the pain and misery they bring to the lives of others through their actions.

The play is written by John and Linda King and directed by the very talented, David Barker, the author of "Dodging Bullets", a professor of theater at Arizona State University, with years of theatrical experience. David brings an exciting and innovative approach to the presentation.

The Kings walk you through the frustrations of the parents of a victim, the ilemma of the victim, as well as the vicious actions of her abuser in this presentation. The common thread throughout the saga is the difficulty in helpig the victim escape and making the abuser accept responsibility for his actions. You will see and you will hear excerpts from real life tragedies presented by two very dedicated parents, directed by a very talented professional.

Because one in about three women are involved in a violent relationship and one in four teens experience dating violence, we at Fix the Hurt are committed to helping end domestic and dating violence. Statistics show that teen dating violence flows over into domestic violence.

Control.Assault.Delete takes you through the life of the parents of a young women who fell into a violent dating situation, and over the next 9 years went from trying to make it out to TRYING TO GET OUT ALIVE.

John and Linda want to be sure that no parents ever have to experience the heartbreak of losing a child to violence. You are invited to be entertained and enlightened during the presentation and hope all will stay after the show and participate in the open forum roundtable.

Contact Linda to reserve a date for this show for your area as a training and/or fundraising event.
