THE RED DRESS, 2015
Written and Directed By Annie Montgomery Devised by the Members of A Space Between The Red Dress…It started out with a lie. Now, as Erin is looking sex straight in the eye, she’s getting input from all sides: lectures, tweets, even her own past won’t shut up. The Red Dress tells a story every young girl struggles with. Is it time? Will it change me? As Erin wades through all the noise, she makes her way through the past and the present towards a universal issue that we all must face: what is sex all about, and how does it make me who I am?

Once the residency was complete, I worked in collaboration with Lauren Jost's Spellbound Theatre Company to create and write a memory play that was performed in June 2014.
