Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: David Freeman left a workship for cerebral palsy victims over the objections of the staff. He wanted to be a writer. Now he has written Creeps; a play about cerebral palsy victims; and it's a hit. Society; he says; seems determined to treat people like him as - well; as creeps.
