Forget About Tomorrow

Ontario premiere | Dramatic comedy

Written by Jill Daum
Directed by Peter Pasyk

June 18-29 | OPENS June 20

Jane has a demanding low-wage job, two adult kids who can't manage their own lives, a best friend who can't keep it in her pants, and a husband who's distant and forgetful. Somehow she keeps it all together. But then a handsome stranger wanders into her life, and things get really complicated.

Packed with unforgettable characters and gut-wrenching plot twists, this finely drawn family drama reminds us how lucky we are to have each other, and that tomorrow is never a sure thing.

"An exquisite balancing act of comedy and tragedy" - The Georgia Strait (Vancouver)
