I wrote the play largely while I was playwright in residence at Alberta Theatre Projects and might not have done so without their support and protection from the elements. May the gods of drama bless them for their continuing commitment to new work.

I am profoundly grateful to the brilliant Alana Wilcox for choosing to make this book back when it was in pieces. Her faith has been a driver.
I acknowledge the following writers and thinkers, whose words and ideas have influenced me in the making of this play: Elisabeth Badinter, Eric Bentley, Blake Brooker, Charles Darwin, Philippe Gaulier, Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, Jane Kramer, Lao Tzu, Jeannine Locke, Larissa MacFarquhar, David Mamet, Derek Parfit, Richard Pochinko, Janet Radcliffe Richards, Anne Sexton. Their bold inquiries into everything from biological destiny to the eleven o’clock song have been my signal lamps.
