For her Matinee Performance, Wanda Fitzgerald, along with Rebecca Redmile will be recreating a dramatic scene form “Fall from Grace” a play about a woman who, masquerading as a man, becomes pope. In “The Temptation of Joan” while studying in the monastery late at night, Joan is visited by a demon who knows her secret – she is not a man. When offered the greatest temptation of her life – the chance to reach her highest aspiration, to become pope – Joan must choose between mortal chance and otherworldly intervention. She can have her heart’s desire if she chooses well. For a price of course.

Wanda’s recent work is “Common Criminal”, an original production of which she is writer and director, featuring live music, interpretive dance and Live Audio Description for the blind and vision impaired (upon request). “Common Criminal' is a dark drama based on the true story of Maureen Dale, a blind woman who is befriended by a charming stranger and finds herself being stalked by a convicted killer of a disabled woman.
