of the loveable but vanity-stricken Charles and Cari Pooter. Set in Victorian Era England. Played by professional actors, and real life married couple, Chris Friesen and Esther Koepnick! Featuring Eve Ross Moore as Sarah, Carrie's maid.

aplenty, "Mr. & Mrs. Nobody" has been delighting audiences for decades, since its first run in London, starring Judy Dench and husband, Michael Williams. 

From the West End, to Broadway, to Manitoba!

"Mr. & Mrs. Nobody" originally ran in the West End (London) in the 1980s. It was a smash-hit, with Dame Judy Dench and her husband, Michael Williams, originating the roles of Charles and Carrie Pooter. The show then ran on Broadway (with different actors) post-covid, also receiving rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. And now, Looking Glass Theatre is presenting the Canadian premier of this charming, beloved play. (We can't believe we get to be the first ones to do this play in Canada! But as far as we can tell...we are!)
