Unflinching in its truth and deeply human, Face Divided exposes the quiet devastation that builds over time—the kind not born from a single moment, but from years of unresolved hurt. Speaking to the burden of the past and the bonds we can’t break.
Face Divided, written by Edward Allan Baker, is a thought-provoking one-act play that pulls you into the intimate storm of love, denial, and survival, as a young couple is forced to confront the shattering reality of their lives—and a decision that could change everything.
In the emergency room of a Providence hospital, Debbie impatiently waits for her husband after a life-altering incident involving their daughter. As the tension escalates, the young couple faces the edge of collapse, exposing unspoken truths, simmering blame, and memories of a life they once dreamed of.
Baker’s signature blend of compassion and raw honesty gives voice to those who aren’t just surviving a bad day—but living through bad years.
Don’t miss this fierce, haunting drama that stays with you long after the lights go down…
