Ann-Marie MacDonalds novel, Fall on Your Knees, is commonly characterized as a feminist novel or family saga. – Ann-Marie MacDonald, Author, Fall On Your Knees I am so grateful to all the incredibly talented artists, especially Hannah Moscovitch and Alisa Palmer, for boldly and beautifully bringing it to life. I ended up bringing the story to light as a novel, but I’ve always cherished the vision of it as a three-dimensional experience for a live audience. Fall on Your Knees is the story of the Piper family. This makes sense because I was, and am, a playwright. The story follows four sisters whose lives consists of their strong family. Fall On Your Knees began, in my mind, as a play. The novel follows the life of the Piper Family throughout the 19th and 20th century. “Seeing Fall On Your Knees brought to fruition as a piece of theatre is the fulfillment of a process that began long ago when I first started writing what would become the novel. Fall on Your Knees is the story of the Piper family. This event is limited to Fall On Your Knees ticketholders. Please note: Patrons must have a ticket to Fall On Your Knees on January 24 to attend the pre-show panel. $10 from each panel ticket purchased will be donated to WCH. * Fall On Your Knees: Part 1 performance ticket price varies.
