Event Description
MARCH 6 – 15, 2008
“You’re too nice. Even for a Canadian.”
Guilt can make you do strange things. When David travels to Belarus to deliver an inheritance of US$112,000, a number of impoverished locals promise to help find his cousin while comically extorting cash at every turn. But the cousin has also died, meaning the money reverts to David instead of his poor Russian relations. He feels so bad he just might say yes to a Bryan Adamsloving instant fiancée who’s willing to negotiate a move to Canada in lieu of cash.
An irreverent, cross-cultural glow-in-the-dark comedy!
