You Have New Relatives
November 3 2023 & March 23, 24 2024
2023-2024
Lisa has been very frustrated by the long search for her birth-family, particularly her birth-mother, with many setbacks and some heartbreak. Her long-time friend, Nikki, seems to offer support and affection but also appears to be undermining Lisa’s efforts. The reasons for Nikki’s behaviour play out in a series of conversations between the two. Interspersed with their scenes three possible birth mothers and one father tell their stories, one by one, and Lisa’s adoptive mother, Vivienne puts in her two cents worth.
You Have New Relatives was written by Mary Jane Maffini as part of ITR’s 2022 One Act Play Writing Workshop. ITR was proud to take it to the EODL One Act Play Festival in November 2023 where it won Best Production and Best Visual Presentation thanks to the hard work of our talented cast and crew.
In March of 2024 ITR brought back YHNR for one weekend for another round of performances.
