Description
On her last day, an older woman becomes a witness to her past as she prepares to let go. She separates and compartmentalizes all the women she had been with at different stages in her life. In her solitude, she imagines them as women who come together to play the card game, Go Fish. Each part of who she was, is reincarnated with the audience choosing which part of her gets to tell their story before they move on to their next life.
This play will be performed as a theatrical reading by five women over 45, in English only.
Carolyn Fe
Carolyn Fe is a theatre and music performer who made waves recently in Teesri’s Fireworks Playwrights Mentorship Showcase. Her play, Go Fish!, originally written as part of Tarragon Theatre’s educational program, was expanded upon under Teesri’s dramaturgical mentorship. Carolyn wrote this play to bring a realistic representation of older women of colour to the stage and, in doing so, raises the voices of a demographic continually pushed aside.
