Paint Me This House of Love at Tarragon Theatre

A Tarragon Theatre production

Written by Chelsea Woolley
Directed by Mike Payette

“Why shouldn’t a dream be just as much a truth? A fantasy be just as deep a reality?”

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.
