TEEN LIBRARY COUNCIL PRESIDENT FOR 2019!

INTERVIEW WITH MELISSA LEILANI LARSON, WRITER OF JANE AND EMMA

Melissa Leilani Larson is a Utah-based playwright and screenwriter of the film Jane and Emma, which opened in the-aters October 2018. In honor of Black History Month, the Orem Library will screen Jane and Emma and host a Q&A with Melissa on Monday, February 25, at 6:30 PM in the Storytelling Wing.

HOW DID YOU START WRITING JANE AND EMMA? TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR PROCESS.The director, Chantelle Squires, came to me with the idea of using film to demonstrate the friendship between these two women. Historically, we have a couple of facts that point at their friendship: Jane records Emma invit-ing Jane to be sealed to her and Joseph’s family, and a pioneer witness said it was hard for Jane and Emma to say good-bye when Jane went west. Those are fascinating facts, but they leave a lot of room for interpretation. I decided to set the main arc of the story on the night after Joseph Smith’s death because, in order to demonstrate that there was a friendship and for the film to be dra-

matically interesting, we had to put that friendship through a crucible.

CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS OF JANE AND EMMA AS YOU PICTURE THEM?Jane’s history is so amazing. She was very sure about her faith. She was kind, always putting others before herself—there is a monument near her grave that shows her giving half of her last bit of flour to Eliza Partridge Lyman, who was near starving. I also see Jane as very pragmatic—she got things done. Something I noticed in reading her autobiography, as well as in several ac-counts referring to her, is that she had a thing for clothes. Just makes me smile. She was always very careful and neat in her appearance, and always had a clean, white handkerchief. Both things we put in the film.

We have a tendency to look at Emma as an extension of Joseph. But she was her own person, a tremendously strong woman who endured so much right alongside her husband. She had a temper, yes, but that tells me she was passionate. She cared deeply about her husband and her family, and she believed fervently in Joseph being a prophet. She loved animals, particularly cats and horses; she always had treats in the kitchen for her children and grand-children; and she had a green thumb, growing her own herbs for medicine. People tend to vilify her for choosing to stay in Nauvoo when the Saints went west, but I think there is so much more to her. And she’s most assuredly not a villain.

YOU HAVE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT LDS WOMEN STRUGGLING WITH DIF-FICULT TOPICS INCLUDING POLYG-AMY, INFERTILITY, SEXUALITY, AND RACISM. WHY?I’m a dramatist, and I want to see char-acters in interesting situations that natu-rally lead to drama. When I’m writing about LDS characters, sometimes you need to delve a little deeper to find the drama—you need to go to places where a lot of people start to get uncomfort-able. The thing is, in good drama, the

characters aren’t comfortable either. A good play or film asks questions that make us as an audience sit back and think. We don’t go to the theatre to see people be good—that’s boring. We go to the theatre to see people make choices. Sometimes those choices are good, sometimes they aren’t. And when it comes to some of the thornier topics in Mormonism, they are thorny mostly because we just don’t talk about them. I don’t think we need to wallow in polygamy, for example. But we need to be aware that it is part of our history and be willing to learn from it. We need more stories from women, and from LDS women, out in the world.

WHAT INSIGHTS DID YOU GAIN FROM STUDYING JANE’S STORY?Jane is a pioneer in every sense of the word. She was even in the first company of Saints to arrive in the Salt Lake Val-ley. She was incredibly in tune spiritu-ally. She loved Relief Society and she worked hard all of her life. And yet she was denied entrance to the temple until seventy-one years after her death. At the same time, Jane never wavered in her faith. She could have walked away so many times but never did. I’ll confess, I can get angry when my fellow Saints approach things differently than I think we should. There are days when I’m tempted to call it quits. But Jane didn’t, and she had much better reasons than me to walk away. That’s the biggest les-son for me, personally. On a more gen-eral level, it’s amazing how many people seem blind to the fact that racism is still a problem in our culture.

DO YOU HAVE A LIBRARY CARD? TELL US A STORY ABOUT YOUR RELA-TIONSHIP WITH THE LIBRARY.I do have a library card! I use it all the time. When I was in the 8th grade, my family had just moved to Provo from Hawaii. Because the Provo library at the time was a short walk from Dixon Junior High, I would walk there after school and spend the afternoon reading and scribbling stories until my parents picked me up after work. The library has always been one of my favorite places.
