About Paint Me this House of Love 

Paint Me This House of Love, written by Chelsea Woolley, explores the complicated relationship between a father and daughter as they both try to escape into their imaginations instead of facing their realities. After twenty-five years estranged, Cecelia and her father, Jules, are attempting reconciliation. Unable to communicate past shames and shortcomings, the pair become dependent on increasingly dramatic fairy tales to explain away their pain. Paint Me this House of Love is a rhythmic, yearning, experimentation of language, exploring the threads that stitch together our shared family narratives, and asks how we communicate, “I Love You”, when the words alone are not enough. This will be the United States premiere of the play. Paint Me This House of Love first premiered at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto in April of 2023.
