�This show is WONDERFUL, a one-woman odyssey with something for everyone...beautiful to behold.� livefringe

GIVING INTO LIGHT is an award-winning one-woman show by internationally bestselling author Alison Wearing. It is being presented as part of the Nanaimo Fringe Festival.

Brief Synopsis: A desperate and distraught new mother attempts to survive sleep-deprivation, fluorescent-lit church basement playgroups and prescriptions for depression in the midst of ice-caked Ontario. Her search for happiness leads her on an intuition-inspired journey to a village in central Mexico � a one-month trip that becomes a five-year stay. As she raises her child amid the colours and textures of Mexico, its bustling marketplaces and interminable celebrations, she finds �post-partum illumination�: sweet surrender into the lyricism, the lunacy, and the lightness of life.

�I felt bathed in light and beauty after seeing this show.� sonrisa

"This show is storytelling at its best. Wearing is a word-perfect, engaging vision who paints with her body and her voice. Stringing together her life experiences like vibrant beads, the audience sees what she sees, smells what she smells and feels what she feels. If you've even taken the road less travelled or wanted to, you will be fascinated by Wearing's approach to life. Come and celebrate.� View Magazine
