From the Foreword to New Voices in Contemporary Theatre: Jane Dossick…

 Aftermath, an acutely observed experimental ‘micro-play’ in one act, transports the reader to contemporary Seattle with warmth, intelligence and grace. It demonstrates the range and craftsmanship of an author who has mastered the psychology of people in places both high and low.

 In Gemma, a play in four acts, the title subject is a young woman still living at home, dominated by her mother, (confined to her bed by a paralyzing accident).

 Gemma has become her sole caregiver.

 It is a work of quality by the distinguished American author Jane Dossick.

 Jane Dossick is the author of numerous books, including Creative Therapy, Inheritance, and the plays Gemma and Aftermath.
