Thirteen Hands

by Carol Shields

October 26– November 14, 1993

We couldn’t see into the future, of course we couldn’t. The future was too far away. But we could see as far as Tuesday night. And that was enough.
Thirteen Hands

This new Canadian play with music is a funny, affectionate and inventive examination of the lives of the ordinary women of the weekly bridge game; their relations with each other, their hopes, dreams and fears, the details and rituals of their lives. The play follows the path of a long running – 73 years – bridge quartet, the original players dubbed the Martha Circle. Across the decades, the four actors portray the successive generations of card-playing women: mothers, daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters.
