Abstract
<p>This work is a creative and Foucauldian-style ethical intervention into the author’s childhood memories. Specifically, it re-imagines a moment in the author’s youth when he first acknowledged his sexuality and gender difference. The script fuses nonfiction<br />and fiction methodologies to produce a dramatic narrative. The finished work is neither fact nor wholly imagined. The script was developed using an<br />interdisciplinary approach including factual research (evidence from author diaries and interviews with family members and such like) and fiction techniques such as<br />associative and stream-of-consciousness writing. In this way, a script was produced that adheres to the core components of the “true” story whilst refiguring others to<br />emphasise aspects of the author’s experience that were wholly internal and even nonverbal (associations, imaginings, latent feelings etc). The result is a work that<br />operates both as memoir and as an intervention into memory.</p>
