Premiered at The Theatre Center (Toronto) from August 17th to the 28th of 2005
Leaving Song follows the lives of Tommy and Celia, from their initial celebration of a fledgling co-habitation, to the bitter fallout of a relationship gone awry. Having chosen her ambitions over her love life, Celia is gone, leaving Tommy to mind her things until she can house them somewhere else. With the apartment slowly emptying and any hope of reconciliation dwindling, Tommy is murdered. Shot down by a mysterious and well-publicized serial killer, Tommy’s final moments are captured on a random security camera and displayed across primetime television. Whether due to media saturation, or a lack of any other interesting news, Tommy is thrust into the public eye and immediately becomes an icon. In his wake, he leaves Celia, and his friends Daniel and Janet now celebrities by association, an obsessed fan base and a new sitcom performed by the survivors, portraying the group under the hypothetical pretense of, “if he hadn’t been killed, would Tommy and Celia have reconciled?”
