In 1910, an orphaned, destitute brother and sister are sent from a Barnardo Home (a British home of refuge) to work in Canada. This play was commissioned by the Blyth Festival artistic director, Janet Amos. Prior to the scheduled opening of Nobody's Child, the second act was re-written without Ms. Wiseman's knowledge or permission. The author was also blocked from rehearsals and not allowed access to the writing she was submitting daily. It was when the "Holden Evans" pseudonym was added to the program that Ms. Wiseman became aware of what was happening. She demanded that the pseudonym be removed from the program (which it subsequently was), and that she be admitted to rehearsals. However, both the Library Archives of Canada and the Special Collections at the University of Guelph index the script with "Holden Evans" as the author. Ms. Wiseman has requested the deletion of this name.
