From the people who brought you RST’s smash hit I Lost My Husband

A United Players Production in Association with Ruby Slippers Theatre. Translation commissioned by Ruby Slipper Theatre. 

Violet is on mat leave. Florence is on sick leave. Both of them are moms, tied to their young children by invisible wires of steel… while their spouses barely notice they’re alive. These two bored, abandoned and dissatisfied women join forces to fight back in the most hilarious way possible: by going on a mission to seduce a string of lovers… all without walking out the front door.

An English language premiere of Deux Femmes en or. in English language translation commissioned by Ruby Slippers Theatre.
