Aprašymas

In Thirteen Hands, Pulitzer Prize winner Carol Shields creates a voice for a whole generation of women overlooked. The women in Thirteen Hands welcome a once-a-week gathering at a bridge club as a time to momentarily suspend feelings of loneliness, isolation and fear, and begin to indulge, revel and celebrate the wonderful intimacy they form. An intimacy that gets passed on, like an exquisite heirloom, to a next generation of bridge players.

Carol Shields' dialogue blends a rich alchemy of gentle flowing interaction with a subtle avant-garde that turns the seemingly mundane into the extraordinary. This is storytelling that circles time and delivers memories. - Back cover of original print version

It was first produced at Prairie Theatre Exchange in Winnipeg and went on to be produced by professional theatres in Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver, to considerable box-office success, and has been produced by amateur theatre companies across the country.
