His artistic inquiry is deeply rooted in social liberation through artistic expression, and footwork is his primary dance form to convey that message. He has been with KL for the past 15 years as the program manager and head dance choreographer, and he creates 45 min to 1 hour theater productions with 50 youth from across the city covering social and economic issues in the city and around the world. These productions take months to create because of the heavy research and understanding of the topics that we want to address around toxic masculinity, rape culture, racism, and violence towards black women.

Embracing the ancient traditions of yoga to, “tame the cerebral, transform the physical and energize the spiritual,” she has joyously extended her love of performance to the World of Entertainment through television, film, print, theatre and commercials.  Awarded the 2019 Best Actress by the DC Black Film Festival for her work in the short film, TOGETHER, Efé describes her Hollywood Acting Career as a “Beautiful Cinderella Story.”  One that is truly obtainable for anyone with latent desires to bring forth and share their talent.  And in Efé’s case, this all began as she proudly traversed into her 60’s. Grandmother to two fine young men, an actor and classical violist, Efé is grateful for the opportunities Los Angeles has extended to her to continue her deep commitment to a life of JOY, enlightenment, illumination, mentorship and the beauty that lies in the telling of stories through all media outlets.  She thanks her beautiful talented daughter, Mei-Ling, for opening this fascinating world to her. </span>

<a href="https://beverlyartcenter.org/17/events/fps/"><b>Delia Jolly Gray</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is a true renaissance woman. She began her career as an elementary school teacher in New York and, then, in Chicago for six years. Though a ‘born teacher’, as others dubbed her, she was called to be an artist. Her start as an actress was with The Experimental Black Actors Guild (X-BAG), a theatrical troupe on the south side of Chicago during the 1970’s. Some of her theater performance credits include </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Raisin In The Sun, Steal Away, Purlie, The Amen Corner, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miss Reardon Drinks A Little</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Delia is just as fierce a business woman as she is a performer working at J. Walter Thompson and, later, at Ogilvy &amp; Mather as Director of Business Affairs and the sole negotiator for celebrities to appear in advertising campaigns for such national clients as Sears, Equal, Klondike Bars, and the local Illinois Lottery, featuring spokespersons the likes of CHER, Lauren Hutton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tony Bennett, Bob Knight, Michael Clarke Duncan, Buddy Guy, John Mahoney, and others. She was appointed the first President of the Board of Directors for The Chicago Theater Co, an Equity theater company, formally, located on Chicago’s south side, created by Douglas Alan Mann and Chuck Smith. She held that position for eight years before her return to the stage as an actress and director. Some of her directing credits include </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mens </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Sara Finney (Joseph Jefferson Award nod, best director), </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Train Is Coming </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by McKinley Johnson (Black Theater Alliance Award, Best Direction/Musical), </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miss Dessa </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Shirley Hardy Leonard, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being Beautiful </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by McKinley Johnson, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Te Amo: A Dancical </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Pascual Olivera, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s So Quiet Here </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seed: A Musical</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, two one-acts by June Seigel, and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Red Death </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Walter Moseley, adapted by David Barr (New York Mystery Writer Guild Award, Best Adaptation of a Novel). Now as a senior citizen, still active in theater as a director (recently directing a virtual reading of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Front Porch Society </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Melda Beaty), Ms. Gray spends her time building 1” scale miniature roomboxes and wall dioramas.</span>

          string(3685) "<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dramaturgy, the concept as we know it today, formally originated in Germany with G.E. Lessing’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hamburgische Dramaturgie</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which he examined the production of drama and how to improve it via deeper research. German playwright and theatre director Bertolt Brecht went on to further develop the dramaturg’s role. Beginning with Brecht, the dramaturg examined not only narrative and dialogue, but also the design and other aspects of the production. They think textually and thematically about works.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <img class="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Hamburgische_Dramaturgie_%28Gotthold_Ephraim_Lessing%2C_1966%29.jpg/378px-Hamburgische_Dramaturgie_%28Gotthold_Ephraim_Lessing%2C_1966%29.jpg" alt="File:Hamburgische Dramaturgie (Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, 1966).jpg" width="157" height="250" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: Hamburgische Dramaturgie. Wilhelm Goldmann Verlag, München 1966. Image Author: Verlagsgruppe Random House.</em></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dramaturgy is the theory, study, and practice of dramatic composition. It is an exploration of and within the world of the play, as well as how that world interacts with our own. As each play and production are unique, the dramaturg’s actions differ slightly as each process requires a unique tactic to approach it. For some productions, more research and discussions are needed to tease out the inner themes of the play and bring them out on stage. Even with productions that may not have a traditional narrative, a dramaturg is still critical to understanding and developing important themes for the staged version. The dramaturg thinks of the construction of the work and how all the pieces of the production, from lighting to sound to clothes to dialogue to movement, interact to convey the meaning of the piece.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">A dramaturg is an essential part of the production team for a play. The dramaturg delves deep into the script, reading it numerous times, providing a textual analysis, and diving into the history of the text and playwright. They provide information about the history of past productions of the play and contribute to design and production meetings.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The dramaturg helps the director in constructing and realizing their visions of the play into reality. The dramaturg does the research and reports back to the director with all the desired information. They also provided resource materials to the company, giving them notes on pronunciation, definitions, and more. They appraise directorial and design decisions to determine how they will be received by an audience.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The dramaturg is vital to any production, and their important work drives the coherent realization of plays for audiences to watch. Dramaturgy is alive in theatres all over the world today and continues to retain its position of utmost significance in their productions.</span>

<b>Shaila Small </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">was</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">born and raised in New York City.  Being creative has always been what makes her happy.  One of the few photos taken of her in early childhood, shows a smiling pre-schooler standing in front of an easel, paintbrush in hand. Educated in NYC public schools, her first job was as recorder/transcriber for meetings and conferences at the National Board of the YWCA in NYC. While she and her husband, Edward, raised two daughters in the city, she became active in her community library and began to explore theories of early childhood education. After the children were settled in school, she took a job with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Magazine</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, writing promo copy for subscription solicitation. She then went on to devote many years working in the field of corporate communications. Retirement meant lots of travel and nearly a decade as a docent at the University of North Carolina’s Ackland Art Museum. Three years ago, the decision was made to relocate to Chicago, where her oldest daughter has made her home since graduate school.  Shaila describes Chicago as a “truly beautiful city” with the added bonus of being near family and seeing her grandsons grow up. </span>

          string(2731) "<strong>Sheldon Brown</strong> is on a never-ending journey to stand true in his inner carefree Black boy self. His journey began in Dayton, Ohio where he was raised by a Southern grandmother (Louisiana), daughter of a sharecropper, a strong woman that he cherishes and carries with him everywhere he goes. His journey led him to study acting at Emerson College in Boston, study abroad and travel across Europe, and now he is currently nestled in Chicago where he’s made his work tell the stories that he’s always wanted to tell and more left to be told. His work has allowed him to work all over Chicago, film across the country, and currently see his first feature, Cicada, make a grand splash through the indie film fest circuit. He is also a teaching artist, a board member with About Face Theatre, and a recipient of the Presidential Creative Courage Award from his alma mater for his art to educate, and inspire others to create social change. He cherishes his ancestors and is grateful for the road they paved for him to walk firmly and proudly in his being and his right to be.

<strong>Larry Wolf</strong>’s inner queer boy dances with the outer world, a dance which changes the world and the dancer, a dance has brought him here and now, to Chicago, with his best friend, lover, husband, of 21 years. Larry’s life journey began in The Bronx, the eldest child in a Jewish family, and an early love for walking, to the park, to school, across cities, across the caldera of a volcano, through museums, art galleries, bookstores, libraries; Cabot Vermont, Louisville Kentucky, Ann Arbor Michigan, Chicago Illinois, Hilo Hawaii, Florence Italy, Santa Fe New Mexico, Vancouver and Victoria British Columbia. His curiosity took him from sailing in Maine to the imagined future worlds of the NY World’s Fair and then creating that future through his work in health information systems and his advocacy for LGBTQ people. There are also times for quiet reflection, silent retreats, extended meditation practice, teaching and coaching. Today Larry uses pencils, brushes, and cameras, reading and writing, to bring his experience into visual form.

          string(2751) "<span style="font-weight: 400;">On November 16, Marilyn F. Vitale Artistic Director Charles Newell and Professor David Levin held a digital talkback about the cast’s previous reading of the play. Here are 5 takeaways from their conversation.</span>

<strong>1. The vibrancy of cast performances draw you in.</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting to see this family full of vibrant, lively individuals interact with one another and getting to know their individual personalities, hearing their names reduced to a list of murdered relatives at the end makes their loss resonate even more deeply with audiences as the play sucks them in further over the course of the performance.</span>

<strong>2. Humanity, emotion, and intellect</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Stoppard’s play has all three, making it an exemplary play to engage with due to Court’s thoughtful approach and its connection with the University.</span>

<strong>3. Variety of POVs</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The POVs of different characters mesh and clash with one another to create more intriguing relationships and interpretations of them. With the time jumps and large cast, more interpretation is needed to decipher certain events and relationship developments that happen off-script, like the process of reconciliation between Hermann and Gretl after her adultery is revealed.</span>

<strong>4. Who am I?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Questions such as the one above, “how did I become who I am now?”, and “where do I belong in this world?” are pertinent to the play when considering the characters’ existences within the cat’s cradle and in response to the developing situation in the world.</span>

<strong>5. UT Austin and Court Theatre</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The library at UT Austin wants to document how theatres are making theatre in the pandemic, so this institution, home to Stoppard’s archive (including boxes of handwritten notes, script drafts, and more), requested access to Court’s recorded performances of Stoppard’s works.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And with that, we conclude our Deep Dive series! If you missed out on any sessions, recordings are still available via the links and passwords previously sent out to audiences who registered for the event.

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Employing astonishing theatrical imagery, Caryl Churchill’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fen</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> interrogates issues of gender, class, and exploitation with grace, humor, and anger.

<strong>Dr. Siân Adiseshiah</strong> joined Loughborough University as Senior Lecturer in English and Drama in June 2018 as part of its Excellence 100 campaign. Her research interests lie mostly in contemporary theatre and 21st-century literary studies, utopianism, class studies, feminist theatre, and age studies. Her PhD on the plays of contemporary playwright Caryl Churchill was funded by the AHRC. We are so excited for how Professor Adiseshiah's deep knowledge of Churchill will inform our experience of this play.
<div></div>
</div>
<div><strong>Professor Chamberlain</strong> is a pioneer of oral history and life story methods, and has published widely on these, on women’s history, and Caribbean history. Her book,<i> Fenwomen: a portrait of women in an English village</i> was one of the sources of Caryl Churchill's play, <i>Fen</i><i>.</i> She now uses creative writing as a way of exploring contemporary historical questions particularly, though not exclusively, around the silences and untold stories of the Second World War and, in particular, women and memory.

His artistic inquiry is deeply rooted in social liberation through artistic expression, and footwork is his primary dance form to convey that message. He has been with KL for the past 15 years as the program manager and head dance choreographer, and he creates 45 min to 1 hour theater productions with 50 youth from across the city covering social and economic issues in the city and around the world. These productions take months to create because of the heavy research and understanding of the topics that we want to address around toxic masculinity, rape culture, racism, and violence towards black women.

His artistic inquiry is deeply rooted in social liberation through artistic expression, and footwork is his primary dance form to convey that message. He has been with KL for the past 15 years as the program manager and head dance choreographer, and he creates 45 min to 1 hour theater productions with 50 youth from across the city covering social and economic issues in the city and around the world. These productions take months to create because of the heavy research and understanding of the topics that we want to address around toxic masculinity, rape culture, racism, and violence towards black women.

<a href="https://beverlyartcenter.org/17/events/fps/"><b>Delia Jolly Gray</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is a true renaissance woman. She began her career as an elementary school teacher in New York and, then, in Chicago for six years. Though a ‘born teacher’, as others dubbed her, she was called to be an artist. Her start as an actress was with The Experimental Black Actors Guild (X-BAG), a theatrical troupe on the south side of Chicago during the 1970’s. Some of her theater performance credits include </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Raisin In The Sun, Steal Away, Purlie, The Amen Corner, </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miss Reardon Drinks A Little</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Delia is just as fierce a business woman as she is a performer working at J. Walter Thompson and, later, at Ogilvy &amp; Mather as Director of Business Affairs and the sole negotiator for celebrities to appear in advertising campaigns for such national clients as Sears, Equal, Klondike Bars, and the local Illinois Lottery, featuring spokespersons the likes of CHER, Lauren Hutton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tony Bennett, Bob Knight, Michael Clarke Duncan, Buddy Guy, John Mahoney, and others. She was appointed the first President of the Board of Directors for The Chicago Theater Co, an Equity theater company, formally, located on Chicago’s south side, created by Douglas Alan Mann and Chuck Smith. She held that position for eight years before her return to the stage as an actress and director. Some of her directing credits include </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mens </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Sara Finney (Joseph Jefferson Award nod, best director), </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Train Is Coming </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by McKinley Johnson (Black Theater Alliance Award, Best Direction/Musical), </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Miss Dessa </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Shirley Hardy Leonard, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Being Beautiful </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by McKinley Johnson, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Te Amo: A Dancical </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Pascual Olivera, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s So Quiet Here </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seed: A Musical</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, two one-acts by June Seigel, and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Red Death </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Walter Moseley, adapted by David Barr (New York Mystery Writer Guild Award, Best Adaptation of a Novel). Now as a senior citizen, still active in theater as a director (recently directing a virtual reading of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Front Porch Society </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">by Melda Beaty), Ms. Gray spends her time building 1” scale miniature roomboxes and wall dioramas.</span>

      string(3685) "<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dramaturgy, the concept as we know it today, formally originated in Germany with G.E. Lessing’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hamburgische Dramaturgie</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which he examined the production of drama and how to improve it via deeper research. German playwright and theatre director Bertolt Brecht went on to further develop the dramaturg’s role. Beginning with Brecht, the dramaturg examined not only narrative and dialogue, but also the design and other aspects of the production. They think textually and thematically about works.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <img class="" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Hamburgische_Dramaturgie_%28Gotthold_Ephraim_Lessing%2C_1966%29.jpg/378px-Hamburgische_Dramaturgie_%28Gotthold_Ephraim_Lessing%2C_1966%29.jpg" alt="File:Hamburgische Dramaturgie (Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, 1966).jpg" width="157" height="250" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Gotthold Ephraim Lessing: Hamburgische Dramaturgie. Wilhelm Goldmann Verlag, München 1966. Image Author: Verlagsgruppe Random House.</em></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Dramaturgy is the theory, study, and practice of dramatic composition. It is an exploration of and within the world of the play, as well as how that world interacts with our own. As each play and production are unique, the dramaturg’s actions differ slightly as each process requires a unique tactic to approach it. For some productions, more research and discussions are needed to tease out the inner themes of the play and bring them out on stage. Even with productions that may not have a traditional narrative, a dramaturg is still critical to understanding and developing important themes for the staged version. The dramaturg thinks of the construction of the work and how all the pieces of the production, from lighting to sound to clothes to dialogue to movement, interact to convey the meaning of the piece.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">A dramaturg is an essential part of the production team for a play. The dramaturg delves deep into the script, reading it numerous times, providing a textual analysis, and diving into the history of the text and playwright. They provide information about the history of past productions of the play and contribute to design and production meetings.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The dramaturg helps the director in constructing and realizing their visions of the play into reality. The dramaturg does the research and reports back to the director with all the desired information. They also provided resource materials to the company, giving them notes on pronunciation, definitions, and more. They appraise directorial and design decisions to determine how they will be received by an audience.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The dramaturg is vital to any production, and their important work drives the coherent realization of plays for audiences to watch. Dramaturgy is alive in theatres all over the world today and continues to retain its position of utmost significance in their productions.</span>

<b>Shaila Small </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">was</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">born and raised in New York City.  Being creative has always been what makes her happy.  One of the few photos taken of her in early childhood, shows a smiling pre-schooler standing in front of an easel, paintbrush in hand. Educated in NYC public schools, her first job was as recorder/transcriber for meetings and conferences at the National Board of the YWCA in NYC. While she and her husband, Edward, raised two daughters in the city, she became active in her community library and began to explore theories of early childhood education. After the children were settled in school, she took a job with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">New York Magazine</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, writing promo copy for subscription solicitation. She then went on to devote many years working in the field of corporate communications. Retirement meant lots of travel and nearly a decade as a docent at the University of North Carolina’s Ackland Art Museum. Three years ago, the decision was made to relocate to Chicago, where her oldest daughter has made her home since graduate school.  Shaila describes Chicago as a “truly beautiful city” with the added bonus of being near family and seeing her grandsons grow up. </span>

      string(2731) "<strong>Sheldon Brown</strong> is on a never-ending journey to stand true in his inner carefree Black boy self. His journey began in Dayton, Ohio where he was raised by a Southern grandmother (Louisiana), daughter of a sharecropper, a strong woman that he cherishes and carries with him everywhere he goes. His journey led him to study acting at Emerson College in Boston, study abroad and travel across Europe, and now he is currently nestled in Chicago where he’s made his work tell the stories that he’s always wanted to tell and more left to be told. His work has allowed him to work all over Chicago, film across the country, and currently see his first feature, Cicada, make a grand splash through the indie film fest circuit. He is also a teaching artist, a board member with About Face Theatre, and a recipient of the Presidential Creative Courage Award from his alma mater for his art to educate, and inspire others to create social change. He cherishes his ancestors and is grateful for the road they paved for him to walk firmly and proudly in his being and his right to be.

<strong>Larry Wolf</strong>’s inner queer boy dances with the outer world, a dance which changes the world and the dancer, a dance has brought him here and now, to Chicago, with his best friend, lover, husband, of 21 years. Larry’s life journey began in The Bronx, the eldest child in a Jewish family, and an early love for walking, to the park, to school, across cities, across the caldera of a volcano, through museums, art galleries, bookstores, libraries; Cabot Vermont, Louisville Kentucky, Ann Arbor Michigan, Chicago Illinois, Hilo Hawaii, Florence Italy, Santa Fe New Mexico, Vancouver and Victoria British Columbia. His curiosity took him from sailing in Maine to the imagined future worlds of the NY World’s Fair and then creating that future through his work in health information systems and his advocacy for LGBTQ people. There are also times for quiet reflection, silent retreats, extended meditation practice, teaching and coaching. Today Larry uses pencils, brushes, and cameras, reading and writing, to bring his experience into visual form.

      string(2751) "<span style="font-weight: 400;">On November 16, Marilyn F. Vitale Artistic Director Charles Newell and Professor David Levin held a digital talkback about the cast’s previous reading of the play. Here are 5 takeaways from their conversation.</span>

<strong>1. The vibrancy of cast performances draw you in.</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting to see this family full of vibrant, lively individuals interact with one another and getting to know their individual personalities, hearing their names reduced to a list of murdered relatives at the end makes their loss resonate even more deeply with audiences as the play sucks them in further over the course of the performance.</span>

<strong>2. Humanity, emotion, and intellect</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Stoppard’s play has all three, making it an exemplary play to engage with due to Court’s thoughtful approach and its connection with the University.</span>

<strong>3. Variety of POVs</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The POVs of different characters mesh and clash with one another to create more intriguing relationships and interpretations of them. With the time jumps and large cast, more interpretation is needed to decipher certain events and relationship developments that happen off-script, like the process of reconciliation between Hermann and Gretl after her adultery is revealed.</span>

<strong>4. Who am I?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Questions such as the one above, “how did I become who I am now?”, and “where do I belong in this world?” are pertinent to the play when considering the characters’ existences within the cat’s cradle and in response to the developing situation in the world.</span>

<strong>5. UT Austin and Court Theatre</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The library at UT Austin wants to document how theatres are making theatre in the pandemic, so this institution, home to Stoppard’s archive (including boxes of handwritten notes, script drafts, and more), requested access to Court’s recorded performances of Stoppard’s works.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">And with that, we conclude our Deep Dive series! If you missed out on any sessions, recordings are still available via the links and passwords previously sent out to audiences who registered for the event. Tune in to our next component of our Theatre &amp; Thought series, </span><a href="https://www.courttheatre.org/season-tickets/2020-2021-season/theatre-thought/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Caryl Churchill’s </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fen</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> + The Dramaturgical Process</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span>"

<strong>Dr. Siân Adiseshiah</strong> joined Loughborough University as Senior Lecturer in English and Drama in June 2018 as part of its Excellence 100 campaign. Her research interests lie mostly in contemporary theatre and 21st-century literary studies, utopianism, class studies, feminist theatre, and age studies. Her PhD on the plays of contemporary playwright Caryl Churchill was funded by the AHRC. We are so excited for how Professor Adiseshiah's deep knowledge of Churchill will inform our experience of this play.
<div></div>
</div>
<div><strong>Professor Chamberlain</strong> is a pioneer of oral history and life story methods, and has published widely on these, on women’s history, and Caribbean history. Her book,<i> Fenwomen: a portrait of women in an English village</i> was one of the sources of Caryl Churchill's play, <i>Fen</i><i>.</i> She now uses creative writing as a way of exploring contemporary historical questions particularly, though not exclusively, around the silences and untold stories of the Second World War and, in particular, women and memory.
