Episode Details

Dr Sue Watson has written publicly about her adoption journey, and now she is taking that story to the stage. Working with writer and director Renee Lyon, Watson is currently in rehearsal for a theatrical adaptation of her memoir, in which she will also act. She joins Culture 101 to discuss the process of turning personal history into performance, the lines that come easily and the ones that take longer to settle, and what it means to revisit connecting with her birth mother and the mystery of her birth father.
