Keely and Du, by Jane Martin. Full Length Play, Drama: 2m, 3f, 3m or f. Winner 1993 American Theatre Critics Association Award, Best New Play; Finalist 1994 Pulitzer Prize in Drama. A volatile drama about abortion. Du, a right to life activist, and Keely, a pregnant rape victim she is confining, transcend their circumstances and the ideological issues that separate them. Keely and Du is a mind probing issue play with a gripping human face. Who is accountable? What is the extent of individual freedom? What are a rape victim's rights? What is a Christian's realities of procreation? Their passionate stories exist on the extreme edge of everyday reality.

Presented at the National Arts Festival and the Hilton Drama Festival in 1997 by Lara Foot Newton , directed by Yael Farber, starring Sean Taylor, Henrietta Gryffenberg, Lynn White, Lionel Newton.
