Keely and Du is a theatrical play by Jane Martin.[1] The play centers 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] The United Kingdom première of the play was staged by the Royal Theatre, Northampton in 1995 with Joanna Foster as Keely and Vilma Hollingbery as Du.[4]
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.[5] The film had its theatrical premiere at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival in September 2018 as Keely and Du,[6] and was subsequently screened at other film festivals under the title Catch and Release.[5]
