Sharon Wallace is the President of ICWP, The International Centre for Women Playwrights.
She talks to Jenni Munday from Charles Sturt University in Australia.
She reads from her play 1967: A Life of its Own.
" I was inspired to write the play from a short story based on a personal reflection from my childhood memory of the 1967 Riot in Detroit, Michigan.
I decided to build characters within the riot setting and develop a story within the conflict of the riot.
My first experience with playwriting began as an adolescent adapting a story to a play.
Many years later, studying acting at the National Black Theatre in Harlem, New York, I got into playwriting. I collaborated with my fellow actors to write a play titled "Ouch Outrageous Love."
However, years later, I committed to the genre of playwriting when I completed my first play, 1967: A Life of its Own, as the creative component of a master's degree. "
