Patience

Losing his job is enough. Reuben built that firm. But losing his wife and his brother the same night? Someone’s playing roulette with Reuben’s life. An extraordinary new play by the enfant terrible of Canadian theatre. Explosively written, brutally funny and crackling with theatrical energy, Patience crawls beneath the skin of modern life to meet the big questions head-on. Who are we? And what are we doing here? As Reuben journeys through the shattered remnants of his life, he struggles to decipher what remains now that everything he was taught to value has been taken away.

Particularly known for championing Canadian drama, the Finborough Theatre opens its 25th anniversary year with another UK premiere of an award-winning Canadian play. Winner of the Governor General’s Award and twice winner of the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award, Jason Sherman is one of Canada’s most successful contemporary dramatists. His work has been produced throughout Canada and the USA, and is now seen in the UK for the very first time.
