This is the only pure piece of educational theatre I've ever been involved in. I directed this programme and co-wrote it with Wendy Van Reisen, Fran Gebhard, and two of the most amazing people I've ever known, Judith Mastai and Brian Torpe, who have since passed on, and I miss them deeply. FYFN was the second program of its kind in the world; its creation and implementation was a transformative experience for me. It was eventually adapted into a series of films by the National Film Board of Canada (directed by Mo Simpson) and is used extensively throughout North America and Europe.

For more information on the films, check the National Film Board of Canada

It was also adapted in Namibia for use in AIDS education in Southern Africa, visit MFDI for more information.
