In the Q&A after, you asked the audience about the new ending. As I was stuck on the subway on the way home, had time to think about it. Few people actually act out their dreams. So it is even more courageous to have decided, as you have, to move on from your dream, your identity, perhaps even more courageous than going to Rwanda in the first, or second, place. So I was wondering, now that you are, literally, acting out your life, whether this new, rash, adrenaline kick of being on stage as a performer could be integrated into the ending. You could bring the narrative into real time. The story doesn't end, it is up to and including right now. Ironically, at the end, it felt like we were you during your first interview with Innocent. How could anyone in the audience truly understand the impossible story just told? How could a jewish woman from Scotland in country for a week possibly understand Innocent? And yet the need to tell the story and be heard trumps all consequences. This is where the story now is. (With a slightly less captive audience!) Thanks again for a memorable performance. You have found a skilled and nurturing Director. Hope you both continue to grow with this piece and it with you. Best of luck Wonderful and courageous performnce last night (3 April) in NYC.
