Bygone Theatre presents HIS GIRL FRIDAY

The iconic 1940 film by Charles Lederer, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, is hitting the Toronto stage in a new adaptation by Craig Dix. This classic screwball comedy tells the tale of Walter Burns (Sean Jacklin), a hard-boiled newspaper editor who learns that his ex-wife, "newspaper man" Hildy Johnson (Cass Van Wyck), is going to give-up reporting to marry a bland insurance salesman (Steve Hobbs) from Albany. Determined to sabotage these plans and keep Hildy with the paper - and himself - Burns convinces her to cover one last story. Things quickly spiral out of control and Burns and Hildy find themselves tangled up in the case, and each other's lives. A hilarious look at identity, and the struggle to balance life and love.

Featuring: Cass Van Wyck (The Crucible; #dirtygirl; Cookie Biscuits), Sean Jacklin (The Crucible; Barefoot in the Park; An Inspector Calls), Steve Hobbs (Second City; The Beaverton; Impatient Theatre Co.), Sean Pratt (Intelligence; The 4400; Off-Centre Television), Matthew Hallworth (Fumbled; Second City), Alex Clay (A Streetcard Named Desire; The Diaries of Leopold & Loeb), Elizabeth Rose Morriss (A Little Night Music; The Little Mermaid; The Diary of Anne Frank), Ryan Kotack (Wait Until Dark; Reign), Chris Peterson (August In Osage County; Alone Together), Michael Barkey (Sandworms!; Transmission), Ashlie White (The Secret Garden; Steel Magnolias; Urinetown), and more.
