Keely and Du

Keely and Du is a theatrical play by Jane Martin.[1] The play centres on Keely, a rape victim who became pregnant from a sexual assault and is being held captive by an extremist anti-abortion cult to prevent her from terminating the pregnancy, and Du, the cult member who is guarding her.[2]

The play was a finalist for the 1994 Pulitzer Prize.[3]

Film

A 2018 film adaptation by Canadian directors Dominique Cardona and Laurie Colbert transposed the play's setting to a remote wilderness cabin in Northern Ontario. It starred Laurence Leboeuf as Keely and Nancy Palk as Du, as well as Aidan Devine and Peter Mooney.[4] The film had its theatrical premiere at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in September 2018 as Keely and Du,[5] and was subsequently screened at other film festivals under the title Catch and Release.[4]
