The Neighbours
A bold new play about the secrets we keep, from one of Canada’s best playwrights
Simon and Denise reside in a modest house on a quiet street, their life blissfully low-key and unassuming. But when it comes to light that their next-door neighbour has been hiding a disturbing secret, it forces the couple to re-examine the past, leading the audience to a surprising conclusion that asks hard questions about the bonds thatunite us.
