About My Own True Love: WAR
My Own True Love WAR represented a bold step for OneLight Theatre, as this multi-media production took the company to a new and exciting artistic level. Based on the poetry of Clyde A. Wray, and adapted for the stage by Artistic Director Shahin Sayadi, a story took shape of a soldier who was coping with the realities of war and its brutal aftermath. The fight continued in his own home, outside his door, in his neighbourhood and in his mind. A touching and honest portrayal of a normally glorified career, this play captivated audiences with its passion and with its undeniable pain.
“War is a very personal subject for Clyde and me, so this play in some form or another, has been in development for many years between us. I am glad that the work has found its time and place and I believe that OneLight will be exposing a new face with this dramatic work.”
-Shahin Sayadi, Artistic Director (2004)
