It Never Happened (or State Terror in Eight Easy Stages) eavesdrops on eight different periods from the past: two soldiers reflect on the prospect of imminent death caused by their government's greed; a political fixer makes an awkward sex scandal go away; a young journalist discovers that integrity doesn't pay the mortgage; and a domestic assault turns into a witchcraft trial.
Torben Betts' new play is a furious but darkly funny indictment of state-sponsored murder and how governments efface their misdeeds from history with the help of a complacent press and public.
