August 23-27, 2011

Created by Kate Cayley, Sarah Cormier, Zach Fraser, and Kiersten Tough
Written and Directed by Kate Cayley
Presented by Stranger Theatre

Ladies and Gentlemen…

In 1751, Françoise Laurent is sentenced to death in Montreal for stealing a pair of gloves. According to the law, a woman could escape death if she could persuade the hangman to marry her. But at this time, there is no hangman. In prison, Francoise hears the voice of a young soldier from the next cell. She speaks. He answers. We all meet our fate…yes?

Step this way.
