Pilot episode of SOUNDS DRAMATIC: a monthly talk radio show all about theatre and the people who create it.
EPISODE 1: Co-hosts Jess & Adjani introduce the idea behind SOUNDS DRAMATIC. Adjani switches hats from co-host to guest, as she and co-playwright Casey Stainsby discuss the process behind creating 'On Life and Living'. This new documentary play was co-written by Adjani, Casey, and Amy Collier and directed by Lorna Craig, and was staged in November of 2015.
Based on interviews of past and present AIDS Community Care Montreal (ACCM) members, staff and volunteers ‘On Life and Living’ weaves together a story of the organization’s history using memories as a primary source. The play follows eight semi-fictionalized characters over a period of twenty-eight years as they recall their first encounters with the organization, experience some of ACCM’s pivotal moments, and grapple with the changing face of HIV/AIDS in Montreal.
