The Canadian Playwright Project
This year, both classes of Grade 12 Drama students had the opportunity to witness a reading of a new play called My Sister’s Rage by Yolanda Bonnell. They then had a workshop with Yolanda Bonnell and Studio 180. These innovative pieces were created as a reaction to the play.
I was brainstorming ideas for the assignment when I noticed the plant sitting on my windowsill. I was inspired by the resilience in something as little as a plant, and how it is able to survive change and adapts despite being so vulnerable. This reminded me of characters in the play we watched that also overcome adversity and choose to live on despite unimaginable pain.
