Sense Of An Ending

About this book

The weight of what is to come is unbearable. It is crushing me.
The sound of the crying, it never ceases. I carry this inside and now tell only you. Charles, a disgraced New York Times journalist, arrives in Rwanda for an exclusive interview with two Hutu nuns. Charged with war crimes, the nuns must convince the world of their innocence during the 1994 genocide. When an unknown survivor contradicts the nuns' story, Charles must decide between saving his career or telling a murkier truth that might condemn the nuns to a life in prison. Ken Urban's award-winning Sense Of An Ending shines a light on journalistic truth and morality amid the atrocity of the Rwandan genocide. The play was produced and published during the twenty-first century anniversary of the genocide, and is a striking and compelling political thriller asking if forgiveness is possible in a world where truth is never simple. Sense Of An Ending was premiered at Theatre503, London, on 12 May 2015.

traitors. 
I 
know 
these 
names. 
They 
are 
not 
traitors. 
These 
are 
neighbors, 
friends.
Sound: 
a 
radio 
DJ 
calling 
out 
names 
(
in 
Kinyarwandan
)
of 
Tutsis 
and 
Hutu 
sympathizers, 
telling 
his 
listeners, 
‘Muhere 
aruhande.’
Dusabi 
The 
DJ 
tells 
his 
listeners
(
Speaking 
with 
the 
voice 
from 
the 
radio.
)
‘Go 
about 
the 
task,
Go 
about 
the 
task 
from 
one 
place 
to 
another 
until 
the 
work 
is 
done.’
Then
The 
radio 
goes 
suddenly 
silent.
Dusabi 
The 
power 
is 
cut.
The 
lights 
flicker 
and 
go 
dim. 
Dusabi
and 
Charles
are 
faintly 
visible 
in 
the 
darkness.
Dusabi 
We 
decide 
to 
exit 
in 
the 
cover 
of 
dark 
and 
hurry 
to 
the 
school. 
I 
tell 
Elisabeth 
we 
will 
be 
safe 
at 
the 
school 
with 
the 
protection 
of 
the 
Blue 
Helmets
Yes, 
safe 
at 
Don 
Bosco
On 
the 
journey 
we 
see 
horrible 
sights
I 
cry 
out: 
Mana 
wari 
uri 
he?
Charles 
God, 
why 
have 
you 
forsaken 
me?
Dusabi 
Yes
And 
I 
think 
to 
myself
The 
weight 
of 
what 
is 
to 
come 
is 
unbearable
It 
is 
crushing 
me
But 
Elisabeth 
and 
I 
continue. 
And 
at 
dawn, 
we 
arrive 
at 
the 
school.
Lights 
return.
Shift. 
The 
Don 
Bosco 
School.
