Synopsis

Following a completely sold-out run in 2021, Checkpoint Theatre is proud to bring back Session Zero with its original cast and creative team.

As an estranged couple attempts to reconnect over a game of Dungeons & Dragons, the conflicts of daily life are inevitably carried onto the battlefield. Given the mess created by the years of history together, can fantasy storytelling help them rediscover the connection they need?

With masterful strokes, playwright Jo Tan paints a nuanced portrait of the gulf between two that devours what is left unsaid and renders the familiar, strange. With the syllables of the forgotten language that they once shared now echoing through their lives, they must rediscover the words that brought them together in the first place.

Directed and with dramaturgy by Huzir Sulaiman, this intimate two-hander delicately examines matters of the heart, in a bid to heal together. Featuring Jo Tan and Brendon Fernandez, Session Zero bravely navigates and illuminates the complexities that run through the deepest human relationships.
