Adapted from Catherine Hernandez’s novel of the same name, Shasha Nakhai and Rich Williamson’s Scarborough weaves together a world through the lived realities of three children and their families in a low-income, multicultural neighbourhood in suburban Tkaronto. With demonstrated care, Scarborough looks systemic discrimination, addiction, and job insecurity square in the eye, all the while delivering a work that deals with these challenges in a radically humanistic way that centres compassion over shame. Equal parts brutal and delicate, Scarborough sits with the implications of what diversity truly amounts to in a marginalized context, its warm performances offering a profoundly humanizing portrait of the power of community and intergenerational healing in the face of hardship. —Audrey Chan
