About the Play
Joanie loves her home – a small town on the Canadian prairies. But Joanie’s mum left her, her husband left her, and now her teenage daughter Carol-Ann wants to leave too... If only she could “freeze a bit of time”, so nothing ever changed – like the footprints on the moon. As Joanie battles to keep Carol-Ann from leaving to go and live with her dad in Toronto, she is finally forced to confront why she keeps being abandoned by her loved ones, and the loves and losses that have shaped her life.*
About The Playwright
“A finalist for Canada’s most prestigious literary award – the Governor General's Award – and winner of the Labatt Award for Best Canadian Play, Footprints on the Moon premiered in Winnipeg in 1988 and has since been produced in New York City, and all over Canada including – amongst many others – Montreal, Toronto, Edmonton and Saskatoon. It received its European premiere at the Finborough Theatre.*
“An emotional journey centred on women who are warm, determinedly hopeful and generous in their behaviour.”
“A wonderful play exploring loss and loneliness as well as friendship and love.”
