INTO POSSESSION OF MYSELF

Fascinating and surprising drama from the diaries, journals, and letters of Florence Nightingale, Clara Barton, and Dorthea Dix. They were much more than angels of mercy.

Running time: 65 min.


"On behalf of the Northeast Association of Occupational Health Nurses and the Connecticut State Chapter, we thank you for your excellent presentation -- Into Possession of Myself. It was so well received by our audience and the evaluations were terrific. Thank you!"

Margaret Gildea President
Connecticut Association of Occupational Health Nurses

"Ms. White made early public health nurse leaders 'come alive' for a class of senior nursing students and for a group of professional nurses. It is one thing to teach about our nurse leaders and women mentors of the early 20th century--it is quite another thing to have practicing and future nurses 'experience' their lives through the art form of drama. Both groups of nurses who saw her one-woman show were both educated on their nursing heritage and inspired to new levels of professional behavior. I highly recommend Ms. White's drama for a wide range of audiences."

"Pippa White presents a lively and rich interpretation of some of the most outstanding women in nursing history. She honors their memory and brings their vision and sacrifice to a realistic and meaningful level of experience for the audience. Each nurse who sees her performance leaves feeling in awe of these forebears and proud to be following in their footsteps. Pippa’s performance is a gem, not to be missed."

Dr. Patricia Wahl
San Diego State University School of Nursing

"We are still talking about your performance here! The nurses who attended are singing your praises for bringing history to life!"

"Pippa is wonderful. Her characterizations of Florence, Clara, and Dorothea are nothing less than spectacular. It brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart as she portrays the struggles and successes of three pioneers of the nursing profession. Pippa becomes these characters, which allows you to be truly engrossed in their lives, and makes me proud to be a nurse. I very highly recommend One's Company and Pippa White. She is amazing."
