Sincere Apologies
Arts Market


Information
Created by Dan Koop, Jamie Lewis & David Williams, based on an original concept by Roslyn Oades & David Williams, SINCERE APOLOGIES is a performance built from all the apologies that the world keeps offering — the famous, the ridiculous, the deeply personal and those that begin every second email in our inboxes. Part theatrical ritual, part social experiment, SINCERE APOLOGIES explores what it means to apologise in a world full of broken systems, failed relationships, and bureaucratic disclaimers.
SINCERE APOLOGIES is an immersive and participatory theatre work constructed entirely from real apologies from real people who are not present in the performance. This fully-instructional, performer-less work is a key example of 'concept touring' – low environmental impact/high emotional impact, highly portable, and very adaptable for bespoke iterations in different national contexts.

Reviews
“The genius of Sincere Apologies is hidden beneath … Like an iceberg, its emotive and intellectual mass floats unseen but not unfelt beneath the surface. … playfully philosophical and subtly sincere; a compelling reflection on why the simple word ‘sorry’ is so easy yet so hard to say” ArtsHub
