MY GRANNY THE GOLDFISH

By Anosh Irani
Starring David Adams, Balinder Johal, Shaker Paleja, Veena Sood
Directed by Lois Anderson

Now playing until May 15, 2010  |  New Revue Stage

Because Blood Is Thicker than Whiskey

Hypochondria, claustrophobia, germaphobia—oh, my! When Nico, a young Indian student in Vancouver, is hospitalized, his grandmother, armed with nothing more than a whiskey bottle, arrives from Bombay. Despite Nico’s protests, her visit may be just the cure-all he needs. Irreverently funny, My Granny the Goldfish is a tale of finding truth and love in the midst of morphine and bedpans.
