It was my privilege to direct and act in this piece. From the moment I read Tanner's writing I was hooked. I'm especially honoured by and proud of my co-star and producer, Virginia Dennis, who after 10 years of marriage to her wonderful husband with whom they share two children, chose to follow her truth and came out as a gay woman. In spite of pushback from other family members and friends, she is bravely and purposefully creating a new and liberated life for herself.
