About the Show
Canada’s premier playwright, Norm Foster, has created another theatrical tour de force! The year is 1938 and star reporter, Jeff Kinkaid, competes against rookie Mary Hayes to cover the society wedding of the son of newspaper owner, Delores Diddle. Throw in an embalmed dog stuffed with Delores’ husband’s ashes, Delores’ challenge to find dirt on her son’s sexy fiancé, add a delightfully sarcastic butler, and you have yourself a performance filled with hilarity and fun.
We hope you’ll come and laugh out loud with this playful homage to the vintage screwball comedies of the 1930s and 40s.
