	Description:		Laura talks to playwright Amanda Parris. The Governor-General Award-Winning writer and CBC host shares how sitting in a prison waiting room filled with women sparked the idea for “Other Side of the Game.” In a world saturated with shows about the justice system, she says stories tend to follow those arresting or being arrested. “They don’t follow the woman who has to clean up the mess...” She also explains why she isn’t a purist when it comes to theatre and why it’s so important to preserve the work of Black female artists.
