Homeward Bound (play)

Homeward Bound is a stage drama by Elliott Hayes. It was originally commissioned by the Stratford Festival and produced for its 1991 season.[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]
