Note from playwright Rosamund Small
"Working on this play in 2013, I was writing about paramedics between (or sometimes during) lectures in my undergrad at UofT. At the time, I wasn’t even aware how fortunate I was to have stumbled onto a subject matter so richly deep and under-appreciated. Paramedics are part of society’s bone structure, so basic and important we barely think about it, always assuming we can call 911 and someone will come to our door to help. I also found medics to be fantastic, interesting people, most particularly the show’s inspiration Kaleigh O’Brien, who patiently answered every question I had about her work. I hope one of the silver linings of this terrible global emergency is a renewed sense of care and support for frontline workers. With this in mind, I’m delighted to share our 2014 production with everyone stuck at home (good job!). We are offering this stream free of charge, but asking that you please donate what you can to Wounded Warriors, a charitable mental health services provider with robust support for frontline medical professionals."
