Secrets, Swings And Surprises With Kucom Theatre

Kucom Theatre is kicking off the 2025 season with The Ladies Foursome, a comedy by Canadian playwright Norm Foster, who is known for his witty, character-driven works. In The Ladies Foursome, which premiered in 2014, Foster brings a fresh perspective, exploring the dynamics of female friendship and the revelations that come with it. The story is set in a casual, light-hearted atmosphere as four women gather for a round of golf, a tradition they've maintained for 14 years.

The play begins the day after the funeral of Catherine, one of the group members, and centres around her three close friends, Margot (played by Amanda Lewis), Tate (Jayne Royal), and Connie (Jane Reddrop). To complete the foursome, they invite Dory (Katrina Hansen), an old friend of Catherine’s whom they’ve never met before. As they play through 18 holes, secrets, and confessions surface, testing their friendships and revealing new ones. Throughout the game, the women confront their personal histories, the challenges of life, and the complexities of their relationships.

Filled with humour, heart, and sharp dialogue, The Ladies Foursome is a fast-paced and heartwarming exploration of friendships, where no topic is out of bounds. As the women navigate the course and reflect on their lives, the play offers both comic relief and poignant moments. This story of revelations and bonding is a definite hole-in-one, sure to leave audiences laughing and reflecting on the ups and downs of life and friendship.
