Join Trina Davies, Saskatoon-born playwright and the mind behind The Romeo Initiative, in conversation at Persephone Theatre!
⁠
Trina will be on their Main Stage to read excerpts from some of her other works before participating in a facilitated Q&A session with Artistic Director Heather Cant, where you’ll be able to get answers to all your burning questions! This event will be ASL interpreted.⁠
⁠
Admission is free, concession will be open, and copies of The Romeo Initiative will be available to purchase!
⁠
Trina will be reading from her play Silence: Mabel and Alexander Graham Bell, which focuses on the life of Mabel Hubbard and offers a story of love, communication, determination, and influence, all told from Mabel’s perspective as a Deaf woman in a way that will connect with Deaf and hearing audiences alike. ⁠
⁠
Trina will also be reading from West of the 3rd Meridian, her self-described “Saskatchewan play.” This prairie ghost story is set in a house in an abandoned farmyard – a familiar scene for many of us in Saskatchewan – and tackles themes of expectation, loss, time, and place in a hauntingly human way.⁠
⁠
This reading event is made possible through the support of Playwrights Guild of Canada’s PlayConnect Program.
