The Book of Esther

By Leanna Brodie

It is June 1981: the farm debt crisis. Pride Toronto's first parade. Everything is changing, including fifteen-year-old Esther, who runs away to the city to escape the family farm. With the help of a brash young hustler and a gay activist who shelters street kids, she confronts her conservative Christian parents--farmers on the brink of financial ruin--and begins to find her way home. Acclaimed playwright Leanna Brodie excels with this heart-warming coming-of-age--and coming-out--drama.

Cast of 2 women and 3 men
