My Granny the Goldfish
by Anosh Irani
March 17 – April 15, 2012
Mainspace Theatre
The Toronto premiere of the hilarious and irreverent comedy.
Granny travels from Bombay to visit her beloved grandson Nico who is in hospital in Vancouver. Her “cure alls” are attitudes, platitudes and a full flask of whiskey. Despite Nico’s neurotic and hysterical protests, Granny helps him truly heal – ultimately proving that laughter is the best medicine.
Anosh Irani is the author of the novels The Cripple and His Talismans and The Song of Kahunsha. His play Bombay Black was a Dora Award winner for Outstanding Best New Play. Irani was nominated for the Governor General’s Award for Drama for his anthology The Bombay Plays: The Matka King & Bombay Black. His new novel, Dahanu Road, has been published by Doubleday Canada.
