On Writing Compassion & Illness; with Meg Braem

A Cultural History of Canada

Patrick sits down with playwright Meg Braem to discuss her play Flight Risk, "an empathetic exploration of grief, friendship, and hope, [which] asks what we lose when we ignore the knowledge of our elderly, challenges the way that we think about aging and death, and inspires a brighter, more compassionate future." Meg Braem is an Alberta-based playwright and dramaturg. Her plays have been nominated for a Governor General’s Literary Award and have won the Alberta Literary Award for Drama, and the Alberta Playwriting Competition.
