Synopsis

The Autumn Road Retirement Village in Caulfield has a fiercely competitive bridge club, but with old age no bridge partnership lasts for long. When Minnie loses her playing partner in an unfortunate swimming accident, Liraz is desperate for them to team up. Minnie has a granddaughter and Liraz has a grandson. Both are hopelessly single. Laying all her cards on the table, Minnie is bidding hearts.
Playwright Lally Katz gives us a characteristically oddball story of kindly Jewish grandparents and raw ambition. As riotously funny and brilliantly original as you would expect a brainchild of Lally Katz to be, Minnie and Liraz has a misfit charm that will leave you grinning.
The first amateur production of this play in Australia.
