”These are the last few days of my childhood. It’s 1962. American warships are steaming towards Havana. My mom and dad are on the brink of divorce. And my pet goldfish has died.”

Meet Iris, a precocious 10-year-old girl who is the only grownup in a house full of adults. She lives in a small town where nothing ever seems to happen. That is, until one eventful week when her best friend, Amahl, her pet goldfish dies. Then Iris meets Lawrence, a stranger who she believes is her reincarnated goldfish. She invites him to her house, believing he’s the key to making her dysfunctional family right again.

Written by one of Canada’s most acclaimed playwrights, Girl In The Goldfish Bowl is hilarious, heartfelt and heartbreaking.
