Scorched, originally written in French in 2003 by Lebanese Canadian playwright Wajdi Mouawad, tells the story of Nawal, a woman who fled a country tormented by violence, and her twins, Jeanne and Simon, raised in Quebec. Following Nawal’s death, the twins receive two of her letters: one to be delivered to their father, believed dead, and the other to a brother they didn’t know they had. The twins must return to their mother’s war-torn country to carry out her last wishes – to find their father and brother. Thus begins a painful journey in a foreign land.
