Light at the End of the Tunnel

Surviving the shame of disability within an ethnic family

Cassy is the first of her generation born into a Christian Lebanese family after they emigrated to Australia, and she was set to be the golden grandchild. But when it was discovered that she had cerebral palsy, the promise of her wonderful future vanished, and a veil of shame descended.

Now an embarrassment to the family, Cassy was hidden away from the community, just tolerated at home, and told she was an embarrassment, useless and would have no future. Her innocence protected her from realising she was unwanted, so Cassy put everything she had into living her life to its fullest. Once Cassy bravely stood up to her oppressors and became an independent individual, she would never be held back again.

Light at the End of the Tunnel is an autobiography chronicling Cassy’s journey through hard times and tough lessons supported by good friends and personal achievements. She hopes to inspire by sharing the lessons she has learned to build on your inner strength and fulfil your dreams.

Italian Short Plays

‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’

Both of the Italian short plays; ‘Gli Adolescenti’ and ‘La Lettera’ are intended to be used for educational purposes, as a high school based reading resource, to compliment the learning of the Italian language or for lovers of the Italian language. With the inclusion of English stage directions, the characters begin to come alive as they explore the many facets of being a teenager in ‘Gli Adolescenti’, and to delving into a forbidden love story in ‘La Lettera’.

Each Italian play has an introductory summary, written in English, in order to assist in understanding each of the performance themes. The topics of independence, rebellion, growing up and taking responsibility, autonomy, war, forbidden love, loss and hope are portrayed in the two Italian short plays.

Coming from an Italian background, it is important to pass on the joy of the Italian language to the next generation and to continue to hold the torch of light and love through the creative art form of theatrical storytelling.

Be prepared for each character to take you on a cultural journey and to discover the magic and excitement of being immersed in the Italian language.
