(DIS)CORD by Ryan Enniss Seven characters talk about events in their everyday lives. At first they are seemingly disconnected and share no links. As the show progresses, a web of interactions begins to form and it is shown that every character is linked to one or several of the others in some way. As these characters speak, it is revealed that their problems are all interwoven. They could have an impact upon one another’s lives if they only took the time to listen, speak and connect with one another. Humorous, confronting and touching, (DIS)CORD is a show no one should miss!
