A relationship has reached its breaking point – you decide the road ahead.
A new, original production written and directed by Maggie N. Razavi.
A long-term relationship has reached its breaking point. After 10 years together, one party is seemingly all in while the other toys with the idea of starting a new life.
Counter is a new, exciting play with interactive elements where the audience is invited to participate in the dialogue and decision making of the characters. While they struggle to communicate with each other, the audience gets a glimpse into the demise of the relationship through powerful monologues.
The characters will ask themselves the questions they are too afraid to ask their partner – prompting the audience for answers.
Should they stay or should they go? That is up to YOU, the audience.
#countertheplay
Counter is part of the VAULT Festival's 2023 programme.
No latecomers.
The show contains strong language, references to mental health issues, alcoholism and eating disorders, and is suitable for an audience aged 16 and up.

Maggie N. Razavi
Writer/Director
New, upcoming scriptwriter Maggie N. Razavi wanted to be a storyteller for as long as she can remember. It is a craft she honed in her early years and went as far as completing a creative degree, which focused on filmmaking and scriptwriting. She also attended the Actor’s Temple in London, studying the Meisner technique, after university. However, she changed gears afterwards and decided to pursue a career in financial services. While she enjoyed this career in parts, it was never quite the right fit and she found herself longing for a career in writing. In 2020, she decided to step away from that world and fully embrace the creative arts.
“While there are times that I wish I had not pivoted following my degree, it is my belief that my life experience thus far has given me the ability to tell compelling and relatable stories. These stories don’t just come from my personal experience as the daughter of a middle eastern/minority immigrant who has had to adapt to a foreign land – but also from those around me, who often feel that their voices are unheard.”
