The original cast starred Nancy Palk (Patsy), Tara Rosling (Young Patsy), Sonja Smits (Francesca), and Liisa Repo-Martell (Marie - Francesca's original name). The story concerns the childhoods of Patsy and Marie and the impact it had on their later lives. Much of the dialogue is centered around their prom night when Marie was abused by more than one boy. The play deals with a number of complex themes, such as child abuse and rape. In 2002, it was adapted by Judith Thompson into a film directed by Barbara Willis Sweete, and starring Rachel McAdams, Wendy Crewson and Barbara Williams. The play was originally written as a monologue in 1993. less
