Plot.
I, Claudia is an adaptation of the hit one-woman play starring Kristen Thomson. Claudia is an "official" pre-teen, still reeling from her parents' divorce. Her father is getting re-married, she has a science fair project coming due, and she is in the physical and emotional throes of puberty. Claudia speaks to us from inside the boiler room of her school where she stores all the things that are secret and dear to her. Incensed and incredulous at the adult world around her, she is irrepressibly funny about it at the same time. Some important adults in Claudia's life - her grandfather Douglas, her father's new girlfriend Leslie and the school custodian Drachman - shed light on her situation.

Wiki.
I, Claudia is a one-woman play starring Kristen Thomson, which was subsequently adapted into a film that premiered at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival and was subsequently shown on CBC Television's arts anthology series Opening Night.
The play and film, written by Thomson, is a coming-of-age drama depicting the difficult transition into adolescence of Claudia, a 12-year-old girl struggling with her parents' divorce. Thomson plays all of the roles, using masks to change character.
I, Claudia was published in 2001 by Playwrights Canada Press.
The 2004 film was directed by Chris Abraham, the same director as the original stage play. It was named to TIFF's year-end Canada's Top Ten list.
