You are about to meet Alison, who searches her life for meaning in nthis remarkable and powerful play. In a series of luminous moments and encounters, we’re drawn into Alison’s world: love that fades, hopes that die, and enduring friendship that offers the promise of redemption. In You Are Here, MacIvor shows us, and our emotional reality is in this moment, now. Carol Bolt once wrote that Daniel MacIvor’s theatre is "Öa world of poetry, ceremony and mystery."
