ABOUT THE PLAY
A bittersweet comedy from one of Canada's most beloved playwrights. Bunny Best has met her unfortunate end after a mishap at a Gay Pride parade. Now her two sons, Kyle and Hamilton, have the task of arranging her funeral and caring for her most beloved companion, a troublesome Italian greyhound named Enzo. In the bustle of obituary-writing, eulogy-giving, and dog-sitting, sibling rivalry quickly reaches its peak and years of buried contentions surface. A witty and amusing tale of woe. You'll leave the theatre desperately wanting a dog!
The Best Brothers is staged by arrangement with Pam Winter, Gary Goddard Agency, www.garygoddardagency.com
