THE STORY
Am I the Villain? is an intimate solo play that dives into the emotional journey of one man in recovery from “family-seeking addiction.” Through raw storytelling and humor, Nore unpacks generational trauma, love, identity, and self-worth.
This is not just theatre — it's a reckoning. A heartfelt, funny, and unflinching experience that reminds us healing doesn’t come easy, but it’s always possible.
