Homeward Bound (play) explained

Homeward Bound is a 1991 Canadian play drama by Elliott Hayes. It was originally commissioned and produced by the Stratford Festival.[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]

The play has also been translated into French by Jean-Marc Dalpé and Robert Marinier, as Tout va pour le mieux.[7]
