Do exiles always come from remote troubled places of the world, or can the sense of displacement be felt profoundly in one's "very own backyard"?

Not My Story, set in the multicultural milieu of present day Toronto, tells the story of a group of artists who find themselves between cultures and languages, desires and realty, past and present. A comedy of errors ensues when they enter a game of make-believe running away from their true story, only to find themselves face to face with it. Alluding to Chekhov's Three Sisters and Beckett's Waiting for Godot, the play explores complex, yet very personal themes of identity, friendship and love.
