It was time to gather books on Ireland, as I had already checked out many books from the library on the Ojibwa and Colombian cultures.
I had several versions of "The Changeling" story, though I wanted to bring more multicultural influences into the piece. Sharing these elements makes the story more universal.
This is one of the storytelling paradoxes: the more details in the story, then the more universal the story.
I certainly want the "Family Famine: Hunger for Love" premiere to be universal. When it tours worldwide, the stories will transcend language barriers due to its ability to connect to individuals.
Until we tell again,
