Synopsis

Windsor, 1969. Every Thursday, a group of suburban housewives trade their aprons for cold beers, cigarettes, and dirty jokes at the neighbourhood’s first backyard pool. “Ladies’ Day” is a riotous, booze-fueled escape from domesticity— but underneath the laughter and Labatt’s, our gals navigate alcoholism, hidden desires, and the quiet suffocation of lives lived for everyone else.

Inspired by the playwright’s grandmother’s real-life Ladies’ Days. A brand new play about what “the good old days” really looked like on the inside, and what happens when women stop performing happiness long enough to find each other. (fringetoronto.com)
