Sometimes the people you love the most are the ones who hurt you the most.When Leo’s long-term relationship ends, he unexpectedly finds love again. It feels like hope. A fresh start. The beginning of something good.
But slowly, almost imperceptibly, love begins to look more like control.
Based on Leo Shepherd’s own lived experience, When Love Hits is a powerful and thought-provoking one-man drama exploring domestic abuse, coercive control, silence and the complex realities of unhealthy relationships — from a perspective audiences may not expect.
[Age Rating: 16+ | When Love Hits explores themes of domestic abuse, coercive control and unhealthy relationships. Some audiences may find elements of the story upsetting.]
The victim is a man.
Intimate, honest and ultimately hopeful, this 60-minute true story challenges assumptions about who can experience abuse and explores what happens when love causes you to lose sight of who you are.
This isn’t a love story. It’s a story of survival, resilience and rediscovering yourself.
