I would like to acknowledge the support and encouragement of Sky Gilbert, Naomi Campbell and Libby Zeleke. The support of the Toronto Arts Council, Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council and the Laidlaw Foundation was also crucial to these plays.
    In the case of White Mice, I would like to acknowledge Tanisha Sri Bhaggiyadatta, who strongly influenced my understanding of the situation, and Bruce Hunter, who provided dramatugical advice.
