The play featured actors Maureen Fitzgerald, Frank Moore, Mel Tuck, Sean Sullivan, Lynne Griffin, Liza Creighton and Les Carlson.
First written as a television play, French offered the work to Glassco after seeing his production of David Freeman's Creeps.
In Leaving Home, the Mercers are in the throes of preparations for their youngest son's (Bill) wedding to a young lady (Kathy) he has gotten pregnant.
As they sit down for dinner the night of the wedding rehearsal, things erupt when Ben, the elder son, reveals he is moving out as well.
Minnie, Kathy's mother, arrives and throws a wrench into the proceedings, bringing up the relationship she once shared with Jacob.
All hell breaks loose with the family finally falling to pieces as the father refuses to attend the wedding rehearsal and a son announces he is leaving.
It is a slow and stumbling way to work, but it does offer at least one consolation and a rather important one: each character in the play will be there for a definite dramatic purpose...It was the most cathartic experience of my life.
