**A New Work by Lee-Anna Semenyna premiering at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival**
Hearts Left Open is a poignant exploration of grief, resilience, and the unexpected bonds formed in the most challenging circumstances. Set in a pediatric hospital hallway, the play follows two women—one a mother, the other an aunt—who meet while their children undergo cancer treatment. Through shared moments of despair, hope, and unexpected humour, they forge a friendship that becomes a lifeline.
This original Canadian play delves into the raw emotions of caregiving, the complexities of love and loss, and the enduring human spirit. It's a narrative that speaks to anyone who has faced uncertainty and found solace in connection.
