Selected Playwriting Highlights
• AYNA (The Mirror) – 2004
Selected by British Council Playwriting Program. Early psychological drama, structured as a solo-performed monologue, exploring identity, self-reflection and inner conflict.
VICIOUS CIRCLE (Kısır Döngü) 2005
Staged in 2007 at the British Council Playwrights’ Festival, Akbank Art and Garaj İstanbul.
A cyclical dramatic structure focusing on emotional repetition and human behavioral patterns.
The play portrays a woman trapped in a 15-year marriage marked by continuous cycles of psychological and physical violence.
The one-and-a-half-hour monodrama unfolds the inner architecture of abuse, revealing how a violent system sustains itself through silence, shame and emotional conditioning.
Rather than treating violence as a single “act” committed by a man against a woman, Vicious Circle challenges the audience with a deeper question:
Is violence merely a personal pathology, or is it a socially inherited mechanism sustained by cultural, familial and emotional structures?
