Description:
Finalist for the Governor General's Award for Translation. The Orphan Muses is a devilishly funny play about four wacky siblings. Abandoned by their mother, who ran off with a Spanish fisherman, the Tanguay children were left to raise themselves. Now, on the eve of her return, this bizarre quartet must reconcile with each other and figure out why their mother left them. A truly unique comedy that is guaranteed to show you how normal your family really is.
