Thank you Playwrights Guild of Canada and everyone who voted for 'Controlled Damage' to be on this list of remarkable Canadian artists. Hopefully this will lead to a production in a theatre near you, sooner than later. #Canadian #Playwright #Writer

This moving monologue is from Andrea Scott's Controlled Damage, one of our 2020 Scirocco Drama releases. Sarah Richardson is reprising her role from the original Neptune Theatre production of this powerful play about civil rights icon Viola Desmond.
