After its successful Australian premiere in Melbourne Australia in October 2019, the award-winning new stage play, "The Window Outside" by Belinda Lopez, will have its North American (Canadian) premiere at one of Vancouver's most historic theatre venues.

Frank has had a stroke and cannot outwardly communicate. Evelyn is showing early signs of dementia. Eldest daughter Sharon - the primary caregiver for her parents - is struggling to manage the day-to-day care of her parents as well as her own family. She is at breaking point. Younger sister Miranda - an artist living the dream in New York - comes home for a long overdue visit. Tensions mount. Evelyn goes missing. Hard decisions must be made. But is anyone listening?

Belinda Lopez is an Australian-based American playwright. Her play "The Window Outside" won the Melbourne Writers Theatre Award in 2012 which had a showcase performance to standing ovations at The Carlton Courthouse in Melbourne as part of the Melbourne Writers Theatre Festival. In October 2019 Wise Owl Theatre produced its Australian Premiere in Melbourne with rave reviews.
