Norm Foster has been the most produced playwright in Canada every year for the past twenty years. In this hilarious comedy, a furniture store owner is having an affair with the local minister’s wife. The situation becomes complicated when the minister comes home unexpectedly. An intricate web of deceit is hilariously exposed as the police, parishioners and the women’s auxiliary all get involved. Norm Foster’s plays are very popular with Metro audiences—get your tickets early!
