Anotace
Winner of the 1983 Chalmers Canadian Play Award, Jennie’s Story is set in the late 1930s on the Canadian prairies. It concerns the Sexual Sterilization Act that was enacted in 1928, allowing a sterilization procedure to be performed without consent on individuals that were deemed to be unfit or mentally challenged. Jennie McGrane takes the title role, and her discovery of what the priest Father Fabrizeau has done to her is the central drama of the play. Believing she had an appendectomy when she was a teenager, the truth is revealed when she’s unable to conceive. Under the Skin is based on a real kidnapping that occurred in Port Moody, British Columbia. There are only three characters: Maggie, Renee and John. Maggie’s daughter Emma has disappeared, though we never see the girl in the play. The focus is on Renee’s marriage to the sadistic John, and the terrible secret he is keeping from her. For John is the one that has kidnapped the twelve-year-old and confined her to an air-raid shelter beneath his workshop, where he sexually molests her. As the play progresses, Renee realizes what has happened, and it is her subtle reaction to this shocking revelation that underlies the play’s theme.
