The Long Run is a 35-minute, one-act play written by playwright Rachel Ganz. Having won a certificate of merit in playwriting at University of Toronto’s One Act Festival earlier this year, Rachel has offered to stage her play for charity – to raise awareness and reduce stigma around bipolar and other mental health disorders. The Long Run is inspired by Rachel’s own experiences and centres around three teenaged siblings abandoned for a weekend by their mother during a manic episode of her bipolar disorder.
