The play
What happens when someone is overwhelmed by a desire to help? Does it matter if people only do good in order to feel good? One of Canada’s finest playwrights tackles tricky questions in Generous – four short interconnected plays that explore the complications and moral ambiguity created by the altruistic impulse. By turns hilarious, shocking, moving, and politically-charged, Healey’s intertwined plots and characters create a theatrical piece that is both thought-provoking and powerfully entertaining.
Generous was first produced by Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre in September 2006. Generous is staged by arrangement with Pam Winter of the Gary Goddard Agency, Toronto.
