Marion Bridge

Marion Bridge

By Daniel MacIvor
Directed by Heather Laubenstein

Three women in their thirties come "home" to Cape Breton to be with their dying mother. Each in her own way tries to deal with the painful loneliness of their lives – each is trying to reconcile what they have become with what they thought they wanted out of life and with what they thought their parents wanted for them. Nothing, of course, has turned out exactly the way anyone imagined it would.

A humorous and touching story about the absolute power of realization and how it heals as much as it harms.

“A moving drama that tiptoes around sentimentality without ever reaching it.”
– New York Times

“A sensitive, beautifully written and frequently very funny play.”
– The Calgary Herald
