“Who decides what consenting adults do in private for money?”
“How can a person know when they’re safe?”
Clients “ told me that their visits to me saved their marriages or relationships–because combined with their regular love lives and daily lives, those visits were the missing piece of their puzzle” “For an hour at a time, they are tied up and absolutely free.”
Letters to Grace || 2021
Stemming from the book Amazing Grace, a work for 13 actors and 8 musicians, Letters to Grace was performed twice in 2021, in March (filmed) and August to a live audience. Produced by Waawiiyaatanong Feminist Theatre, the script was written by Marty Gervais (Windsor’s poet laureate emeritus), and the original contemporary classical music is composed by Jeff Smallman. Directed by Patricia Fell, & music direction by Nadine DeLeury, “Letters to Grace is the story of a handful of courageous young nursing grads from Grace Hospital, Windsor, told specifically through letters dispatched from makeshift hospital tents at the front lines in France during World War II, from leprosy clinics in India, and from remote South African missions.” (Marty Gervais) For more info, photos and videos, please go to: www.facebook.com/Letterstograce
