You can't go home again.
Or can you?
The Old Neighborhood, by Pulitzer-prize winning playwright David Mamet, takes a daring stab at answering that question. Lauded on Broadway in 1997 and in London in 1998, the play now comes to Toronto in April for its Canadian premiere in a bold new production by the East West Theatre Company.
The Old Neighborhood follows Bobby Gould -- a Jewish man in his late thirties -- who has hit a crossroads after he abandons his marriage. Torn, lost and confused, Bobby travels back to the place where he grew up - his old neighborhood -- looks up his long-lost girlfriend, and struggles to find out which way his life should turn.
