About the Play:

The Ladies Foursome is a full-length comedy by Norm Foster. On the day after the funeral of a friend, four women gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently deceased playing partner. From the tee-off to the final hole, The Ladies Foursome offers some of the funniest, most outrageous, and touching golf swings in the history of the game.

The Ladies Foursome is a funny, fast-paced, heartwarming story of friendship inspired by the popular play The Foursome. The day after their friend Catherine's funeral, Margot, Tate, and Connie gather for a round of golf in honour of their recently departed fourth. At the gold course they are joined by another woman, an old friend of Catherine's they'd never met before, named Dory. The four women harbour secrets that surface as they proceed from one tee to the next over the course of 18 holes. The confessions are revealed through comedic interactions between the four unique personalities as the women discuss love, sex, children, and everything in between. The fun starts at the first tee when golfer Tate starts stretching to "loosen up" and Margot does the same by cracking open a beer! Lighthearted and funny, The Ladies Foursome is a fun-filled romp from beginning to end.

The Ladies Foursome premiered in 2014 at Upper Canada Playhouse in Morrisburg, Ontario. Soon after, the play received an American premiere at the B Street Theatre in Sacramento, California, and since then it has been widely produced at regional and community theatres across North America.

What people say:

"The show is definitely worth the price of admission." — Broadway World

"The laughs aren't just laughs. They're big laughs that continue tickling the funny bone, erupting from the throat, shaking the shoulders, long after they're lobbed home. When Foster is on form, as he is here, there's not much better theatre around." — Hamilton Spectator

"Foster builds his smoothly flowing laugh machine, and still, he's able to grasp an emotionally viable resolution." — Sacramento Bee

"A show that remains winsome and buoyant in the face of weighty, potentially melodramatic themes, weaving from heartache to humor while creating a quartet of memorable and unpredictable characters." — Spokane Spokesman-Review
