Perfect Pie

A play by Judith Thompson

Set in rural Ontario, “Perfect Pie” follows the revisitation of the childhood friendship between two women; one who has chosen to stay on her farm and the other who, driven by small town torment as a child, chose to escape. While the adults are recollecting their past, the story of the girls at both ten and fifteen drives inexorably forward to the same event which scarred and shaped the lives of the adult women. When the past meets the present, realizations are made that will force these women to question everything they previously thought to be true.
