ABOUT THE SHOW:
In the sleek corridors of corporate power, uncomfortable truths are hard to face—and even harder to expose. When Chloë, a principled junior colleague, confronts senior executive Esther about their firm’s silence surrounding allegations against its celebrated visionary—known only as The Genius—a tense reckoning begins. As Chloë pushes for accountability, Esther grapples with ambition, regret, and the cost of complicity. Interwoven with haunting glimpses of The Genius himself—first in a controlled interview, then in a fiery public defense—Second Zechariah is a gripping exploration of truth, power, and the stories we choose to believe. Riveting and timely, this drama asks: What are we willing to risk to do what's right?
WHAT IS A STAGED READING - A staged reading is live storytelling with scripts in hand—actors use voice and expression to bring the play to life, inviting the audience to imagine the world through the playwright’s words.
