Synopsis
What do miniskirts, high heels, and the Islamic niqab have in common? Defence lawyer Tabatha is about to find out. Inspired by a Globe column by the hilarious, biting Tabatha Southey, ‘FRANCE’ burlesques the veil-banning law recently enacted in FRANCE—with physical comedy, explosive language, quick wit, and a smart, bouncy, sexy, risky, fresh little story—while leaving the veil-banning rules recently enacted in CANADA entirely alone.
