Ruby Slippers Theatre has annouinced that it will present a free translated reading of Fanny Britt's Governor-General's Award-winning play Benevolence on Friday (January 8).

"In Fanny Britt’s brilliant and deliciously black comedy," reads the event info, "a cutthroat big-city lawyer named Gilles returns to his hometown of Benevolence due to a tragic accident.

"This accident will test Gilles’ integrity, and determine his fate. His righteous mother is certain he will do the right thing… but he and his ghosts are not so sure…"

Benevolence was translated by Leanna Brodie and features Charlie Gallant, Lucia Frangione, Raugi Yu, Jovanni Sy, and Agnes Tong.

The live reading will take place at noon via Zoom, and you can find more info here.
