Dead Doves and Lemons OR Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Fan Fiction (but were too afraid to ask)

Information

Your loved one just came out as a (GASP!) fan fiction writer. How do you respond to that? What will the neighbours think? What is Omega slick, anyway? Don't worry because fan fiction veteran MinaRoseTook is here to answer all your questions. Join us on an eclectic, hilarious, and heartfelt journey where we’ll explore transformative works: how fan fiction came to be, why people like it, why people hate it, and why it's a valid form of art. But this isn't going to be your usual lecture. It's part theatre, part puppet show, part writing exercise, and so much more. Who knows...maybe you'll even write something!

A one-woman show that celebrates storytellers.
