Belle

Home Is My Road

Home Is My Road

by Florence Gibson

In this compelling and emotionally-charged drama, the award-winning author of Belle examines the role of international adoption in the cultural genocide of the Roma (gypsies) of Europe. Two Canadian women trace parallel routes in Romania in 1991. Grace is desperately trying to adopt a baby while Esme is searching for her birth mother. Their lives intersect with a Roma family struggling for survival in the aftermath of the post-communist revolution.

“The characters pulse with life, the language sings with poetry… features some of the most heartfelt moments seen on a Toronto stage.”
—Richard Ouzounian, ****, Toronto Star

“Gibson can write dramatic poetry unmatched by any other playwright in Canada.” —Robert Cushman, National Post

“Gibson conjures up a language of grand poetic daring.” —Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail
