Synopsis: | The first play dives into a Minister's daughter's struggle to break free from her repressive Canadian Mennonite roots. She initially sublimates her deepest desires through the magic of music, but then flirts with unbidden sexual urges and a disorienting drug trip that catapult her out of her static emotional landscape. She instinctively exits a world of stark reality and enters one of sensual release. | |||||
