Strangers collide in this expertly woven story of healing. A dramatic police encounter illuminates a son’s pain; a police officer pulled away from home because of duty; two mothers searching for answers. Siminovitch Prize winner, Joan MacLeod’s real life sensibility reveals a touching story of the unexpected shared lives of strangers.
Victoria-based, Siminovitch and Governor General’s Award winner Joan McLeod brings her clear and driven signature style to this thought-provoking, fictional new work that made Another Home Invasion (Tarragon 2009) a huge hit and The Shape of A Girl (Tarragon 2002) an international success. Tarragon has been producing her plays since 1987 when it premiered Jewel.
