A migrant journalist goes live from a protest and breaks script on air. A fierce, darkly funny solo play about migration, motherhood and the cost of speaking up. Caught between neutrality and truth, Anna steps into a moment she cannot take back. Off Script explores belonging, language and moral courage in a world that rewards silence. An intimate, urgent story about what happens when safety collides with honesty – and a voice refuses to stay contained.
