I was commissioned to write a short one-person play about Women and Work in 1921 St. John’s. The result is A NEW WORLD FOR WOMEN. Thanks to Persistence Theatre for the inviting challenge of writing this piece, and thanks especially to Sharon King-Campbell and Margot Duley for their expertise in realms dramaturgical and historical. My character, Annie, has just finished her first day of work as a shopgirl on Water Street, and she has a LOT to say about it. I'm looking forward to seeing what the production team come up with to bring her to life.
From Persistence Theatre:
