Witty dialogue, faced-paced sparring, and engaging characters make this is an encounter you don’t want to miss.

The director: Richard Beaune is a critically acclaimed director who’s worked across Canada. Most recently, he directed the award winning “The Belle of Winnipeg”, is also the winner of a Canadian Comedy Award for “Trapped in Taffeta”, and is the Artistic Director of Keystone Theatre.
