A play based on "Sophie's Log" was commissioned in 2001 after encouragement from Professor Richard Demarco, a very influential person on the Edinburgh arts scene. The playwright is Bryan Willis from Seattle. There is a very small cast; Sophie, aged 19, and Sophie as a much younger person. The play called 'Sophie' received its premiere at the 2002 Edinburgh Festival. The Scotsman newspaper gave the play a four star rating and the recommendation that the play was a "definite must see". It played to full houses. The play then toured the USA. This was master-minded by Erin Hurme (one of our ex-sponsored students). The play was then commissioned by the BBC as a radio play and broadcast on BBC Radio Four (The Afternoon Play) in April 2004. To order a copy of the stage play, send an e-mail to office@sslf.org.uk. Supporters from the USA can order direct from Bryan Willis, willis@sslf.org.uk. The play costs GBP£7.00 or US$9.00 plus postage and packing. NB: Schools and Youth Groups: The play "Sophie" is highly suited to small drama groups, with a cast of just two young actresses and a simple set and lighting/sound effects, so we hope it will soon become known and performed by schools and youth theatre groups. |
