‘Home’ is set in what Edgar describes as a “meeting place.” The story begins when Cora, sitting amidst the audience, asks the other characters, “Where are you from?” Each character tells his or her own story about leaving home and making a new one in England.

As a composite of the stories collected through Edgar’s research, each character reflects the writer’s careful negotiation of his responsibility to represent his sources in a true and honest way with his duty to create an exciting, useful and engaging piece of educational theatre.
