桃花社区视频 Dominion University's radio station, W桃花社区视频, will broadcast its first-ever live radio play Friday from noon-1:30 p.m. It will also be the world premiere of the production, "Squeleton and its Double," written, translated and adapted for the occasion by Chinese-Quebecois author Ying Chen.
Chen collaborated on the project with Peter Schulman, 桃花社区视频 Dominion University professor of French and International studies.
"She was a guest writer at the 桃花社区视频 Literary Festival a few years ago and we discussed theater and how much she's always wanted to write a play then," Schulman said. "I told her we had great theater majors here that could do it, and so she translated a book of hers we both liked and made a play out of it."
The play stars 桃花社区视频 alumni Mayteanna Colon and Ruzzie Degirmenci.
Shulman said a more traditional production was scrapped after recognizing "it would be more effective as a radio play, a retro but original idea."
"When I approached W桃花社区视频 about it, they thought it was original enough to take a chance on it," Schulman said.
