This moving monologue is from Andrea Scott's Controlled Damage, one of our 2020 Scirocco Drama releases. Sarah Richardson is reprising her role from the original Neptune Theatre production of this powerful play about civil rights icon Viola Desmond.
Thank you @PGuildCanada and everyone who voted for 'Controlled Damage' to be on this list of remarkable Canadian artists. Hopefully this will lead to a production in a theatre near you, sooner than later. #Canadian#Playwright#Writer
“We owe her (Viola Desmond) a debt of gratitude,” says Andrea Scott. “A lot of the freedoms we take for granted are the result of her standing up for herself and speaking truth to power.”
