Description

Sisters Marie, Cece, and Anita run a small coffee-and-clothes shop on Toronto's trendy Queen Street West. One evening their estranged father, Roy, wanders in, in his pyjamas. He is clutching a note explaining that he has Alzheimer's and admonishing his daughters for abandoning their parent in his time of need. But it quickly becomes clear that Roy was a drunk and a philanderer -- and perhaps worse. The women must decide whether his parental sins should be forgiven just because he has now forgotten them.

About the author

According to the Toronto Star, Rosa Laborde is a young writer who "deserves both attention and respect" and NOW Magazine asked, "Is there anything this multi-talented artist can't do?" Rosa's plays include: The Source, Sugar, Dish, Leo, Hush and the upcomingMarine Life and Like Wolves and have been produced across Canada at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Tarragon Theatre, The Great Canadian Theatre Company, Neptune Theatre, Touchstone Firehall Theatre and The Belfry Theatre. Her comedic hit Sugar was named an Outstanding New Play by NOW Magazine. Her political drama Leo was mounted twice at Tarragon Theatre before touring Canada, was nominated for five Dora Mavor Moore Awards including Outstanding New Play and was also a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Drama and received a reading at Playwright's Horizons in NYC in March 2012. Rosa is a playwright-in-residence at Tarragon Theatre as well as The Great Canadian Theatre Company in Ottawa and is beginning a residency with Toronto's Aluna Theatre. She has just completed her second residency with The Banff Centre for the Arts.
