About the Play:

Wrong For Each Other is a full-length romantic comedy by Norm Foster. Can love survive a separation? A chance meeting in a restaurant, after four years apart, sends a couple flashing back through the highs and lows of their courtship and marriage. Wrong For Each Other is an hilarious and often heart-breaking look at the roller coaster ride of a relationship.

Wrong For Each Other is the story of Rudy and Norah, two people who once fell in love, got married and then got divorced. How can things which begin so right end up so wrong? Four years after their divorce, workaholic Norah and working-class Rudy meet by chance in a big-city restaurant. Overcoming the awkwardness of the situation, they decide to have lunch together and think back to the wonderful and exasperating moments of their past together. Despite very different backgrounds, or maybe because of it, they once were deeply in love and maybe still are… Wrong For Each Other takes us on an emotional ride as they recount the trials and tribulations of their relationship with humour and heart and vulnerability. Like a fine wine, Wrong For Each Other is Vintage Foster at his absolute best!

Wrong For Each Other premiered in 1992 at Theatre New Brunswick in Fredericton. Since then the play has been produced widely at community theatres across North America.

Cast: 1 female, 1 male
