Théâtre Raymond Kabbaz presents Grim and Fischer by Wonderheads, an award-winning comedy performed wordless and in full-face mask, that will take the audience to a wonderful world of imagination. In this play, the Grim Reaper meets his match in Mrs. Fischer, a stubborn senior whose will to live is a force to be reckoned with. Equal parts hilarious and touching, this physical comedy by mask imagineers the Wonderheads is the story of a tenacious granny who comes face to face with the Grim Reaper and must put up the fight of her life to escape his definitive grip.
