Adopted at birth and
raised by nuns, the artist-activist Louise Wallwein has spent a lifetime
trying to find out who she is. Now, though, she has made a play, radio
play and book about that process – and how she has let go of trying to
find her own “origins story”.
Wallwein, 47, spent her childhood moving from care homes to foster parents; at nine she went back into the care of nuns after her adoptive family broke down; she was moved between 13 different children’s homes; then at almost 18 she came out as gay, left care, and became involved in activism and theatre, which, she says, have kept her grounded ever since.
