Singing The Bones<\/i><\/b> is the story of three women whose lives are linked by a mysterious pregnancy: Meg, a passionate midwife; Nicole, traumatized by her past births and now pregnant with twins, and Sara, the compassionate obstetrician whose secrets “are leaking from every pocket.” As Nicole’s pregnancy is discovered to be high-risk, each woman must explore the question before them: Is one woman’s choice worth the chance that her babies may die? On the night of the birth the dreams and secrets of all three women collide, creating the possibility of a miracle.<\/p>\n

The play was written by Hicks on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, inspired by true stories and written with support from Western Canada Theatre Company, Tamanhous Theatre, Headlines Theatre, Firehall Arts Centre, Green Thumb Theatre,\u00a0 the Women in View Festival and the Canada Council. The play has since toured over 35 cities in Canada, the United States, England and Sweden — to standing ovations.<\/p>\n

Singing the Bones was adapted to film in 2001 and premiered at the\u00a0Montreal World Film Festival before screening around the world.<\/h3>\n
