...advocate groups. The goal enunciated by Republican Governor Pete Wilson was to bust up the monopolies held by utilities like Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison (SCE). They in turn would be free to purchase and market power in the state as well as to pursue business elsewhere. PG&E, for instance, owns 30 plants outside California...
...PG: When I first began to put the early pieces of the play together, the child's voice came to me like a magical gift. She was just there, tentative, joyful, almost inaudible. I don't recall how I was as a child, but I certainly remember how I felt, and I've written Elizabeth from that young, innocent place. She takes us on the journey through the play, never commenting politically, only witnessing. She tells us what she sees, and the audience feels what she must be feeling.

There are so many brave and extraordinary South Africans who worked tirelessly for change, some at great personal risk to themselves, and they are the real heroes. They continue now, everyday, to rebuild and regrow what I know will be a miraculous place, the new South Africa. I think South Africans there, and all over the world, have a unique perspective and a unique opportunity to build love and joy where there was sorrow and despair. It will take time...
