In prison for killing her husband – a man who has abused her for years- her journey as a wife, mother, daughter, but most of all as a woman, is revealed in her interactions with unseen cops and a parade of talk show hosts. Through dark humour, flights of fancy, and dramatic flashbacks that reveal her painful past, an unforgettable and deeply truthful portrait emerges before the audience.
*There will be a panel discussion after the Friday, January 25 performance with Miranda MacDonald, Nicole Kieley (NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre), Brenda Grzetic (St. John’s Status of Women’s Council), moderated by Allison Conway (Budden & Associates).
