Thanks for diving into my experiment! Redacting Rosslyn is an invitation to co-create Rosslyn Redux, a transmedia memoir of marriage testing misadventure, exurban flight & eco-historic rehab. The following is a digital scrapbook for my performance at the Depot Theatre in Westport, NY on August 3, 2011.
