Lo
Ten years ago, Laura was a student in Alan Wells' English class. She was uncharacteristically smart for a fifteen-year-old--perceptive and vulnerable--a dream for a flailing teacher. Now, at twenty-five, Laura has written her first novel. She's called it Dear Mr. Wells, and Alan is the first person she wants to read it. Weaving seamlessly from present to past, Lo (or Dear Mr. Wells) burrows in the grey areas of consent. A coming-of-age story, a love story, a vindication, Lo (or Dear Mr. Wells) examines a formative relationship that both corrupts and liberates.

I hope I can watch this live one day. This is a screenplay showing the relationship between a 15 year old student and her english teacher. It's a tough read but does a wonderful job at portraying naivete and the innocence of believing the "maturity" of an abuser. I first came across a reading on CBC radio and I'm glad I read the whole thing
