Happy Place

Pamela Mala Sinha’s new play explores the lives of seven women aged 23 to 60 who are residents of an in-patient care facility: a microcosm for the world outside its walls. What is it to live inside the suffering of these women...addressing the idea that we are not so different from each other, though our circumstances may be? Each woman must try to find a way to fit into a world that can’t respond to or redress a pain that is ’un-see-able". But they are also the ones who can teach one another how to live with what happened to them as no one else ever could. Even if they can’t always do it for themselves. Happy Place premieres in September 2015 at Toronto’s Soulpepper Theatre
