British playwright Diane Samuels<\/a> and research consultant Ghislaine Kenyon (alumna of Mayfield School, England<\/a>) are working on a full-length play called WALTZ WITH ME<\/a>, which evokes the life of Cornelia Connelly. They visited the United States in April to run workshops on the play<\/a> at Rosemont College in Pennsylvania and School of the Holy Child, Rye, New York.<\/p>\n

The workshop events went well. The audiences were treated to a presentation about the history of the idea and research that went into the play as well as a few scenes. The writing process is ongoing, Diane said.<\/p>\n
