The Qualitative Report
In this article, derived from her doctoral dissertation, the author (a teacher educator in drama in Ireland) presents her students’ initial responses to her performance of a one-woman play, “Goldilocks’s Testimony.” The play, written by the author, concerns the marginalisation of women in workplaces.

In this play script, “The Habits of History” (Olsen, 2003), the students’ responses are also transposed to Fairyland.
