Unseen
by Mona Mansour
Directed by Benjamin T. Ismail
May 7 – June 8, 2025
Sacramento Premiere
Conflict photographer Mia wakes up in the Istanbul apartment of her on-again, off-again girlfriend after being found unconscious at the scene of a massacre she was photographing. Mia can’t even remember being there, but she wired photos of the site hours before she was found. The two women resume their volatile push-pull when Mia’s well-meaning Californian mother arrives from the US, trying to help unravel what happened to her daughter.
“‘Unseen’ is seen through the lens of a war photographer and how her work affects her life.” –SN&R
“Everything about UNSEEN demands to be seen: smart writing, a cohesive cast, dynamic projections by Ethan Hollinger, dramatic lighting by Shae Mercer, and Tricia Tecson’s versatile set design. It’s one of the must-see shows of the year.” –BROADWAY WORLD
“…Nothing short of amazing. It is rare to see such powerhouse performances, and getting three in one show is the recipe for a phenomenal show.” –SAC365
“Capital Stage hits another home run with this provocative play about photojournalistic ethics, and PTSD as a result of being a witness to war.” –OUTWORD MAGAZINE
