How to Feel- A New Canadian Play

How to Feel is a dramatic comedy about the complexities of relationships and emotional life among young adults in contemporary Canada.
It follows Sam, a melancholic twenty-something, whose best friends Jamie and Phoebe form the brunt of his social world – along with his therapist, Johnathan. Together, against an uncertain future, Sam and his friends do their best to navigate love, friendship, childhood trauma, and late capitalism.

This new Canadian play presents a raw, honest exploration of the tensions between wanting and having, between personal growth and existential acceptance.

Content Warning: this play contains strong language as well as discussions of sexual trauma, alcoholism and suicide.
