Synopsis
When playwright Alexa Gilker travelled to India to volunteer at an orphanage, she met a young Indian caretaker who mysteriously disappeared upon Alexa’s next visit. The horrific consequences of the playwright’s “aid” prompted The Good Story to be written. In The Good Story, the caretaker and other women have a chance to speak up about what really happened, while challenging Alexa’s belief that God himself had sent her to help. Along the way, The Good Story explores how our good intentions don’t always equal goodness, and asks the question: is it possible that heaven has abandoned us? (summerworks.ca)
