Synopsis

David French’s humorous and heartrending play represents the first installment of the seminal and very personal Mercer Family Saga. Set in Toronto, Leaving Home explores physical and spiritual dislocation in a tale of unrequited love between a father and a son. This astonishing play was instrumental in the establishment of Canadian home-grown drama when it triumphantly premiered in 1972.  (youngcentre.ca)
