Family conflict, generational guilt and restorative justice come together in ALL OF US, a powerful stage play by Oxford author and playwright Rebecca Abrams.

Following the play's successful premiere and tour in New Zealand in 2023, a special film of the play (produced by Miranda Warner) will be screened at Maison Française d'Oxford on Friday the 28th of February at 7pm. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with playwright Rebecca Abrams, restorative justice practitioner Helen Lord, former criminal barrister and prison chaplain Harry Potter, and others.
