Can two people who are so obviously wrong for each other get it right? This is the question poised by Canada’s most popular and prolific playwright, Norm Foster, in the romantic comedy Wrong For Each Other.

A chance meeting in a restaurant, after four years apart, sends a couple flashing back through the highs and lows of their courtship and marriage. It is a hilarious and often heart-breaking look at the rollercoaster ride of a relationship. Buckle up and join them on their wild ride through the past in this hilarious and heart-warming comedy.

According to director Garry Davey, “Norm Foster is a compassionate and caring writer who never fails to engage with warm humour and sometimes heart-breaking pathos – I am very excited to direct one of his best-loved plays. His characters are warm, witty, touching and achingly human.”

Norm Foster was born in Newmarket, Ontario on St. Valentine's Day. Raised in Toronto he studied Radio & Television Arts at Centennial College in Toronto and then Confederation College in Thunder Bay. Upon completion of his studies, he began a radio career that would span 25 years and which would take him from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg to Kingston and finally to Fredericton, New Brunswick. It was in Fredericton in 1980 that Norm was introduced to the world of theatre.

"A friend of mine was going to audition for a community theatre production of 'Harvey' and he asked me to go along. I went, just for a lark, and I wound up getting the part of Elwood P. Dowd. The funny thing is, I had never even seen a play in my life before this."

Since then, Norm Foster has produced an astonishing output of work. Nearly forty plays in all, including The Affections of May, the most produced play in Canada in 1991.
