ANNIVERSARY by Carol Shields and Dave Williamson at Western Gold Theatre

Western Gold Theatre presents a comedy about love, marriage and everything that falls apart! ANNIVERSARY puts accepted notions about relationships and marriage to the test. A bit raunchy, a bit serious, and wonderfully hilarious!

Co-written by multi-award winning author and playwright Carol Shields and Winnipeg writer Dave Williamson around 1995, the play follows recently separated couple, Dianne and Tom as they get together to divide their assets on - of all days - their anniversary. Old friends, who don't know they've parted, pay them a surprise visit. The result is a sharp look at middle-class suburban life, marriage, separation, and love.

“A compact little gem of a play … tense, comic and poignant.” – Winnipeg Free Press

An On Our Feet (OOF!) Staged Reading: OOF! staged reading plays are a beloved Western Gold tradition. In 4 short days, the show is up; books in hand, flying by the seats of their pants, Canada’s most experienced artists unleash every iota of technique, intuition, ingenuity and unbridled creativity, talent and skill they have to offer. Fun!
