One of the most critically acclaimed new Canadian plays of the last few years, Zadies Shoes tells the comic and touching story of Benjamin is a compulsive gambler whos just lost the money for his girlfriends trip to an alternative cancer clinic in Mexico. With only 72 hours to win it back, in desperation Benjamin finds himself at shul for the first time since his bar mitzvah, praying for a miracle or a winner. What he gets is rabbi "prophet" Eli, who, along with rabbinical advice, gives him a warning about cabbages and a hot tip on a horse! In the fast-paced, madcap worlds of horse-racing, addictions and championship curling, Zadies Shoes provides a hilarious yet moving and touching look at the nature of luck and the power of faith.
