A woman with her hair in a loose bun peers through a narrow gap in rich red stage curtains. She wears dark-framed glasses low on her nose and a pale collared blouse, with one hand holding the curtain aside. Warm lighting highlights her face and hand against the dark folds of the curtain.

A dark comedy about a cure with wicked fine print.

In this dark comedy from celebrated Canadian author Mona Awad, writer of the bestselling novels Bunny and We Love You, Bunny, magical realism takes centre stage.

After a freak onstage accident ends her promising acting career, Miranda Fitch is left in chronic pain and reduced to directing student Shakespeare productions in a struggling university’s theatre department. But when three mysterious strangers offer a magical cure to her pain, she’s pulled into a surreal journey that pushes her to the brink of sanity.

The promise of relief comes with wicked fine print in this razor-sharp comedy about ambition, pain, and power. Maev Beaty – whose work has been seen across nine seasons with the Stratford Festival, in A24’s Beau Is Afraid, and in the award-winning production Secret Life of a Mother – stars in Governor General’s Award winner Erin Shields’ adaptation.


Awad has taken Shakespeare’s premise of illness and spiritual rebirth and turned it into an inventive horror-comedy full of altered realities and uncanny weirdness.
