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.

They
are
not

These

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.

The

The

flicker
and
go

We

I
tell
Elisabeth

On
the
journey
we
see

I
cry
out:
Mana

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

dawn,
we
arrive
at
the
