Based on personal experiences, The Narcissist explores the emotional turmoil of a woman trapped in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, shedding light on the psychological impact of manipulation, control and isolation.
The Narcissist follows Dena, a woman who initially believes she has found the perfect partner in Marcus — charming, attentive and seemingly devoted. However, beneath his captivating facade lies a darker reality of control and emotional abuse. As Dena’s identity begins to erode, she struggles to distinguish love from possession and loyalty from submission.
The play is staged as part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2025.
