Human Experience and Hannah Moscovitch

Hannah Moscovitch: Canadian playwright Hannah Moscovitch is a master at creating voices that speak out of a different time and place to give people new insights into human experience, according to The Chronicle Herald. Moscovitch paints the dark side of Downton Abbey. Instead of the glamour and artifice of that 1920s TV world, she crafts an intimate, honest picture of everyday life, inspired by the real voices of men and women writing desperate letters to British birth control pioneer Dr. Marie Stopes and What a Young Wife Ought to Know, premiering at Neptune studio theatre to Feb. 8 in a 2btheatre production, is a haunting, historical drama that rings painfully true in its tale of working-class life and love in 1920s Ottawa.
