A moving and deeply human drama exploring family, abandonment, forgiveness, and the emotional cost of unfinished conversations. Written by Emma Amber and directed by Harley Ferguson.
Olly hasn’t seen her father in 20 years. Now, as he lies dying in a step-down retirement facility, his nurse Alice urges her to grant him his final wish: to reconcile and say goodbye. But Olly cannot let go of the pain he caused. She questions whether forgiveness can truly be deserved, and whether some decisions are so final that there is no coming back from them.
Tender, sharp, and emotionally charged, You Should Go In asks: What do we owe the people who hurt us? Just because someone is family, are we expected to love and care for them? Is it unnatural to feel nothing? Are there wounds that run too deep to heal?
This is a story about forgiveness — and the complicated road toward it.
You Should Go In premiered at the Masambe Theatre at the Baxter Centre in Cape Town from 15 — 25 April 2026, with a critically acclaimed two-week run. The production heads to the National Arts Festival in Makhanda for NAF 2026.
Reviewed by Theatre Scene, Broadway World SA, and The Cape Robyn — “engrossing, hard-hitting drama.”
