Saying Cash ripped off someone’s experiences is a huge accusation. I don’t know if she did, I don’t know what these life experiences of this other woman are except what is on this thread which is hardly anything specific. The play does make it clear that it’s not all autobiographical and it is supported by a journalist organisation that has interviewed women in domestic violence situations and has said some of those stories are used in the play. It might be that this woman thinks it’s her experience being used but it’s soneyjing that happened to someone else who did give permission for it to be used. Often domestic violence experiences are tragically similar, there is like a script almost (no pun intended).I can’t be doing with this.
So because it’s “ART” it’s ok for someone to use someone’s else’s life experiences to make money essentially?? And maybe she didn’t have permission but ?? Oh well!! It’s art innit.
Honestly this is bollocks. Women who experience dv have to live with it and the after effects, they have to process it to move on. Having your own life experiences ripped off to sell some tickets to a play or a book is so anti-women, anti-survivor, it’s so wrong on many levels.
And whilst it’s still one persons word against the other about this whole thing, I’m inclined to believe there is some truth in the woman who shared her story with CC.
