Get That Hope

Daddy wants to win the lottery, Mommy is still bitter about getting knocked up at twenty, Simeon has war-related PTSD, and Rachel just wants to get out of her parents' Oakwood/Eglinton place and have a home of her own, but first there are a few things she's got to get off her chest. It's Jamaica's Independence Day, Toronto is sweltering, and everyone is on edge--then the air-conditioner breaks. Loosely inspired by Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, Andrea Scott's Get That Hope looks at the dysfunction of a Jamaican-Canadian family that has no idea how to communicate without wounding.
