A Bit of a Sin

A Bit of a sin is actually an intertwined, parallel confession of a man and a woman. They got involved in a brief affair and now, wishing to unburden their minds, have decided to make a confession. Thus, the same sin is viewed from two diferent perspectives. The unusual approach of having two confessions heard at the same time requires a bit of innovative thinking on the part of the director. That is why I do not give any istructions about showing the man, the woman and the priest during the confession. The piece was originally written for the theatre, where only a confession box could be seen on stage and the voices of the protagonists were heard over the loudspeakers. In 2012 the text was made into a radio play for the Slovenian National Radio.
