Synopsis
Forgiveness Girl
A little girl with cerebral palsy is relentlessly bullied throughout her life, yet finds it in her heart to forgive by seeking strength from a higher source above.
The Dresser
In a touring Shakespearean theater group, a backstage hand - the dresser, is devoted to the brilliant but tyrannical head of the company. He struggles to support the deteriorating star as the company struggles to carry on during the London blitz. The pathos of his backstage efforts rival the pathos in the story of Lear and the Fool that is being presented on-stage, as the situation comes to a crisis.
