Synopsis
The play’s surreal narrative follows The Oddis and the Sings, two families on vacation in Paris, France. But far from the blissful respite they seek, their holidays become their undoing. Heti’s struggle to write this infamously ‘unproduceable’ play over the past ten years is one of the central plot-lines in her internationally heralded novel How Should a Person Be? (suburbanbeast.ca)
