Rasik Arts reading of new play

[SL Jones]

"Margaret in Search of Herself" 
A new play by Janice Goveas  
Friday, November 21 at 7pm 
Palmerston Library Theatre (560 Palmerston Ave) 
Admission: PWYC 
Edgy and filled with dark and at times wacky humour, "Margaret in Search of Herself"
is the story of a young Catholic South Asian Canadian woman's
complicated journey into womanhood against the backdrop of the
expectations of her immigrant parents. The
play, however, attempts to move past the cliché construct in which the
sexual liberalism of North American culture clashes with the sexual
conservatism of South Asian culture. It touches on some of the deeper
dilemmas involved in the journey into womanhood, transcending the
specificity of South Asian culture. Janice
 Goveas
is a playwright and fiction writer, and currently Artist in Residence
at Rasik Arts. Her plays have been staged in the US and Canada, and
will be published in a collection by In Our Words Press in early 2009.
She has an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College in Vermont.
Reading Janice’s new script on November 21 will be Gita Ramchandani,
BSN Rao, Hart Massey, Layanti Banerjee, Seema Sabnani, Charles-Henry
Joseph, and Gabriel Grey.  
Palmerston Library (560 Palmerston Ave) is located just a couple houses north of Bloor St. on Palmerston Ave—the 1st traffic light West of Bathurst Street. Parking available.
