May stands with a suitcase. She looks at a photo of her husband. It’s the first time she’s going to meet him. It’s also the moment she decides to leave him forever.
In his Annex home, Ping holds May’s photo in one hand, a lottery ticket in the other. He paces back and forth anxiously.
A Song For Tomorrow is an elegy to the choices and sacrifices both May and Ping make to find love and happiness, while attempting to make sense of their own lives in Canada.
A Song For Tomorrow speaks to the innumerable factors that go into our hardest decisions. In a most personal way, this play touches on labour, immigration, displacement, loneliness, addiction, physical and mental health. Seen through the lens of an evolving domestic dynamic, we are equipped to acknowledge the complex intertwining of our various vices and values.
