In association with Ruby Slippers Theatre, United Players of Vancouver presents the English-language Canadian premiere of Home Deliveries at the Jericho Arts Centre from March 21 to April 13.

Violet is on maternity 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. One day 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.

Written by Catherine Léger, Home Deliveries is adapted from the screenplay of Deux femmes en or by Claude Fournier and Marie-Josée Raymond, and translated by Leanna Brodie. The French film version of the play just won a Special Jury Award for Writing at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Tickets and more details are available here.
