Home in Three Plays

By (author): Darren Ivany

A collection of three plays exploring the intersections of mental health, community, addiction, and masculinity, blended with absurd humour and raw, heartfelt storytelling.

Home in Three Plays is a trinity of tragicomedies about the underclass in St. John’s. Each story is a brash, bawdy, and bittersweet journey through city streets, as unlikely heroes hunt for a place to call home. As they prowl the margins of society, they shine with humanity, even in their darkest, most unforgiving moments.

Driven mad by drugs, swans, and pesto pasta, the characters in these stories are sporting their best balaclavas and begging for a last chance—and buddy, are they ever hard up for a smoke. Will these streels be consumed by revenge? Or will they find the home that we’re all desperately searching for?
