ESCAPE FROM HAPPINESS
Written by: George F. Walker
Directed by: Barbara Kelly
March 11 - 14, 2009
8:00 p.m.


Nora’s family is under siege. Her son-in-law Junior has been beaten up by a pair of vicious crooks and now the police are searching her house and interrogating her. Her daughter, Mary-Ann, has abandoned her husband and child and appears to be having a nervous breakdown, while a man who may or may not be her husband continues to live in the room upstairs. The east-end neighbourhood is certainly not what it used to be.

A long-awaited revival of Walker’s hilarious and touching 10-character comedy which received rave reviews as well as Chalmers and Dora awards for Best New Play in 1992.
