PUSHED is a two-act play which explores themes of prison abolition, colonialism, state violence, sexual violence, and the importance of friendship and community for marginalized people.
On a night out with friends Clara, a young Mi’kmaw woman is charged and convicted with second-degree murder - a crime she does not believe she is guilty of. Now in prison, Clara is in danger and Nat, Bou and Kal attempt to break Clara out before it’s too late.

â–ªï¸ DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:
This play began its development in 2019 when a 10-minute scratch version was presented at the Other Room in Cardiff, Wales. It then took a pause for a few years until Riley Reign was offered the chance to continue developing the project by participating in the 2023 PARC Writers Retreat in Sackville NB. Now, PUSHED has received Arts Nova Scotia funding for this period of development which includes this staged reading.
