*READING OF PLAY ONLY*

Roald Dahl Doesn't Care About You follows a self-formed, self-run writer's group of 3 young women submitting to the coveted M. Beaumont Writing Competition. When a new addition to the group throws off the dynamic, they're forced to address biases and the part they play in the commodification of identity in the arts.

Recent credits include: Sylvia (500 Words, Green Thumb Theatre); Turtle (East Van Panto: Robin Hood, Theatre Replacement); Mother (Blood Wedding, Studio 58).
