Woman of No Fixed Address The Play

'I have made myself invisible. Like Marilyn Monroe.Some days Marilyn went out and she was Norma and no one even saw her. ( she closes her eyes). 
And you know why Marilyn did that. If they can't see you,they can't hurt you. Its a welcome relief to be a ghost."

Effie Doyle is a play about woman that has been on and off the streets for 35 years. She is 100 days off drugs and is at a turning point. One night she sits down on a bench in a good neighbouhood. and stares at a rich person's house. A young woman comes out of the house to shoo her away but what happens next is that the two are connected. And that night they go on an odyssey to retrace their steps. How one life goes one way and another goes down a different path. A Woman of No Fixed Address is a two-woman show that deals with the chronic grind of poverty  trauma and a meeting of minds.

I am asking your help to create a funny dynamic play that will help us see poverty and mental illness more compassionately.

To look at it as the complex social issue it is.

Since this play is all about a woman asking and receiving and the act of giving. I thought I would be bold and ask you for some help. Where I soar.... my writing. So that I can offer my own small gift to this bruised world. 


""The lady with the squinty eyes at Tim Hortons Eileen left out the day olds for me. But the health inspector shut that down. The by-law of the 5th order requires that they put the donuts in the dumpster. How is that more sanitary? No I have to climb in to get it. But sometimes a cruller is not worth the effort." (Effie the Homeless woman) —""Why is it you never see  see Yogi's out here on the street, screaming, Open your chakras and repent. "

Your money  willl fund me to write. I believe the next draft will about two months to complete.

My commitment to you is I will dedicate each day to create. I will keep you posted on when its produced. I can send you a PDF copy of it.
