Recently optioned for television!Mr O'Connor picks up a bow and casts an odd look in my direction. "Perhaps it is that Miss Deering is not as skilled as you all remember? Let's not pressure her. Likely best to leave the legend of her former prowess to the history books." There's a moment of collective silence. "I beg your pardon?" I ask evenly. John stares at Mr O'Connor, mouth agape. "Connor ..." Mr O'Connor turns to me, scepticism plain on his face. "I just mean that it's clear your brothers hold your skills in high regard. Perhaps those memories are clouded by brotherly affection, or bias?" I snort indelicately. "No one is better with a bow than Gwen," Michael states defiantly, but Mr O'Connor doesn't seem convinced. "I find that hard to fathom. She is a girl, after all." I sit very still. Today, Mr O'Connor, I do not find you so very handsome. Everyone looks back and forth between the two of us. "You think you can do better?" I ask acidly. Edwardian EnglandGwendolyn Deering was sent away to St Ursula's School for Young Ladies six years ago, and she has no idea why. Estranged from her own family, she forms a new one with the troubled teens at her school, and tries to be at least a tiny bit happy. Except that she's having these nightmares ... After a harrowing event at St Ursula's, Gwendolyn is finally sent home, and her mother employs the brilliant Doctor Holder to help Gwendolyn try to remember buried parts of her past. Wary at first, Gwendolyn grows to deeply trust the intimidating and enigmatic doctor. But Gwendolyn also has an issue with her brother's friend, Mr O'Connor. Antagonistic with each other initially, Gwendolyn's not quite sure of what to make of him. She's not sure of what to make of anyone anymore, or who anyone truly is. Until she really does find out, and all hell breaks loose. What happens when the one boy who never wanted to grow up finally does, and the one girl he wanted to remember him ... has forgotten? The stage version of Forgotten (Off The Wall Plays/UK) was first performed in 2014 at the historic Academy Theatre in Lindsay, Ontario, and has since been produced by schools and theatre troupes in Scotland, England, Australia, Canada and the United States.
