After all, as her father keeps reminding her, a woman's place is in the home...next to a big pile of laundry. Once the sweet but dim William discovers his sister's astonishing talent, a chain of events is set in motion that will change both their lives forever. What happens to women of genius in a world that wants only their silence? Can a sister's determination — and a brother's unfailing love — really conquer all? Seamlessly translated from the original French by Leanna Brodie, this strikingly original play with music tackles the big feminist questions with wit, heart, and infectious energy. Winner of Quebec's prestigious Prix de la critique and Prix Louise-Lahaye, Rébecca Déraspe's \u003ci\u003eI Am William\u003c\/i\u003e has toured France, Spain, and the province of Quebec to great acclaim. This English version, commissioned by Theatre Le Clou, was also a hit at the Stratford Festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca Deraspe graduated from the playwriting program of the National Theatre School of Canada in May 2010.
