Habitat
by Judith Thompson
Janet and her mother Margaret
both live on Mapleview Lanes—the perfect neighbourhood with the perfect
neighbours, until Lewis Chance buys a house on their street to open
a group home for troubled adolescents. Raine, unable to respond emotionally
when her mother dies, finds herself at this group home, in a community
that has little tolerance for its newest residents. The ensuing battle—over
whether the group home stays or not—allows Raine to re-awaken her
emotions through rage, and a political will she didn’t know existed
in her.
“…in this country, a playwright
as good as Judith Thompson is a miracle.” —The Globe and Mail
