"A Fine Balance, adapted by playwright and novelist Anosh Irani, will premiere as a play of the same name from in late August. Set in mid-1970s India, A Fine Balance follows four people—a widowed seamstress, a student, and two tailors—who find themselves thrown together in a small Bombay apartment when the government declares a 'state of internal emergency.'"
"Fall On Your Knees is a sweeping family saga following four sisters, the Pipers of Cape Breton Island, as they make their way in the world. Over the course of five generations, Fall On Your Knees tells their stories and reveals their secrets."
"Fall on Your Knees won the 1997 Commonwealth Writers' Prize for best first book, and was an Oprah Winfrey Book Club selection. It was also a finalist for Canada Reads 2010, when it was defended by athlete and broadcaster Perdita Felicien."
Crow's Theatre in Toronto will feature adaptations of four notable Canadian books in its 2026-27 season.
