Set in 1950s Toronto on the eve of a shotgun wedding, Leaving Home is a play about love, loss, and intergenerational conflict. Fifty years after its legendary debut, David French’s moving and personal depiction of the fraught relationship between parents and their children continues to speak to what it means to be part of a family.
Staged in the round for a limited audience, our award-winning production (2025 Theatre Nova Scotia Robert Merritt awards for Outstanding Production and Direction, with seven additional nominations for performance and design) in Toronto’s celebrated Coal Mine Theatre (2076 Danforth Avenue) is a rare opportunity to experience one of Canada’s greatest dramas.
The production is 2 hours long, including one fifteen minute intermission.
