I Confess

About I Confess: Step through the velvet curtains and get ready to hear the real life confessions of a stranger.  You might find yourself revealing your innermost secrets in return.

I Confess is a unique theatrical experience. One audience member at a time enters a confessional. An actor, situated on the other side of the divide, is the confessor. Over the course of ten minutes the audience member is bestowed with two confessions, which range from tender to hilarious. One of them will be true to the teller, the other fiction. An opportunity is open at the end to share a confession of your own.

I Confess has been performed in London, at Edinburgh Fringe, Greenbelt Festival, and will soon be featured at HighTide Festival and Tate Britain. It has received critical and audience acclaim. The performances are easily tailored to both adult or family and child audiences.  An online component has allowed people from afar to have their stories shared in the live performances, alongside those gathered along the way.  See http://iconfessonline.wordpress.com for some examples, or to share your own stories with us.
