About the Play:
In the play Saga of the Wet Hens (English-language version of La saga des poules mouillées) by Jovette Marchessault, four Quebec women writers meet at the centre of a fabulous vortex.

Cast: 4 women.
What people say:
"A celebratory experience for both cast and audience, a presentation of the female condition in both its pain and its exultation, set to rich, poetic music." — Now (Toronto)
