Wise.Woman is a new play which involves a modern tangle of relationships, self-discovery, and a revealing journey into the old world of an East African dynasty. The story follows Saba's journey from home in Canada, back to her ancestral home in Ethiopia, where she plans to marry her childhood sweetheart, Solomon. Going home is not always easy, especially when Saba gets wrapped up in her travel to the tomb ruins where the ancient Queen of Sheba rests. This awakens her own buried yearnings about home, even while she has to deal with new relationships and customs she had not really considered before. Will her new discoveries fulfill the longings she carried when she left 'home' for 'home'? Directed by ahdri zhinda mandiela, featuring: Cara Ricketts, Walter Borden, Peter Bailey, Ash Knight, Meghan Swaby, Tanya Pillay and a 9 member chorus, Wise.Woman will be one of the top shows of 2009!
