Say sorry. Really mean it. Experience a performance built from all the apologies that the world keeps offering — the famous, the ridiculous, the deeply personal and those that begin every second email in our inboxes. Part theatrical ritual, part social experiment, Sincere Apologies explores what it means to apologise in a world full of broken systems, failed relationships, and bureaucratic disclaimers.
The work is participatory, gentle, nurturing, community-building and non-judgmental. Nothing is ever compulsory. With gentle instructions and a surprising sense of camaraderie, audiences slowly help construct the performance – reading aloud, reflecting silently, or simply witnessing. Funny, moving and disarmingly sincere, the show holds space for reflection, repair, and shared responsibility. ★★★★★ 'an incredibly reflective and enriching experience’ - What’s The Show? ★★★★ 'timely and moving' On The House! ‘interesting, entertaining and thought-provoking’ South Sydney Herald 'lyrical and moving' - David Spicer, Stage Whispers Sincere Apologies by Dan Koop, Jamie Lewis & David Williams.
