Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth By Drew Hayden Taylor (Grade 10+)

Only Drunks and Children Tell The Truth is a two-act play written by Drew Hayden Taylor. It is the sister play to Someday. The play follows Grace, a victim of the Sixties Scoops, as she struggles with the news of her birth mother being dead. It follows Grace and her biological sister as they work through their relationship and their traumas of growing up. It is a play that only requires four people; Grace, her sister Barb, Rodney (Barb's partner) and Tonto (Rodney's brother). It is easy to read and has both humorous and heartfelt moments.
