ABOUT THE PLAY
Primary Trust is a quietly powerful play about loss, attachment, and the courage it takes to risk connection after early grief. Through Kenneth’s understated journey, the play illuminates how early caregiver loss shapes adult relationships - not through dramatic breakdowns, but through routines and survival strategies that often go unseen.
Staying for the post-performance discussion offers audiences a chance to explore the play through an adoption-competent, trauma-informed lens, deepening our understanding of ambiguous loss, attachment, and the resilience of those who learned to keep themselves safe by keeping life small. It’s a conversation for anyone interested in how early experiences echo across a lifetime and how trust is rebuilt, one careful step at a time.
