Leaving Home is a drama in two acts by Canadian playwright David French.
"The work is the first presented of what has come to be known as the Mercer Plays (Of the Fields, Lately, Salt-Water Moon, 1949, Soldier's Heart) and was responsible not only for introducing a unique Canadian voice to the world, but also for proving that Canadian playwrights could write plays on Canadian subjects and people would flock to see them."
