Theater Aquarius presents THE LONG WEEKEND - a comedy by Norm Foster

Experience…Theatre to the MAX!

WITH NORM FOSTER'S THE LONG WEEKEND

"Wicked wit and uproarious comedy by our favourite playwright! It was your love of Norm Foster that humoured me into a tradition of Foster romantic comedies. So here's my favourite – The Long Weekend: two couples come to a cottage where they discover fantastic truths and hilarious deceptions"  says Reimer.
