a touching Canadian play by Daniel MacIvor

produced by special arrangement with the playwright thru Playwrights’ Guild of Canada

DIRECTOR: Andrea McNeil-Wilson

PERFORMANCES: April 02 thru 05, 2008

SYNOPSIS:

Three women in their thirties come "home" to Cape Breton to be with their dying mother. Each in her own way tries to deal with the painful loneliness of their lives - each is trying to reconcile what they have become with what they thought they wanted out of life and with what they thought their parents wanted for them. Nothing, of course, has turned out exactly the way anyone imagined it would.
