Homeward Bound (play)

Homeward Bound is a stage drama by Elliott Hayes. It was originally commissioned by the Stratford Festival and produced for its 1991 season.[1][2][3]

Novelist Margaret Atwood wrote about the play: "Elliott Hayes has fashioned a brisk, intricate, deranging and tightly strung play...[his] art is a funhouse mirror, and what we see in it are fragments of ourselves, distorted, grotesque even, but recognizable."[4][5].

Canadian journalist and theatre artist Richard Ouzounian wrote in 2004 that Homeward Bound "remains one of the greatest plays that anybody has written in this country in my lifetime".[6]

Productions

The play has been produced numerous times since its Stratford debut. Notable productions include:

gollark: It's just, well, inelegant, and pollutes globals horribly.
gollark: I don't think it'll *break* anything to use `eval` like that?
gollark: Ah, the `+''` is an unreadable and yet *so* JavaScript way to cast the binary data returned by `fs.readFileSync` to a string.
gollark: ES6 module syntax?
gollark: PHP "works". COBOL "works". Wildly unsafe C programs "work".
