[translated from Deux femmes en or, very freely adapted by Catherine Léger from the original screenplay by Marie-José Raymond and Claude Fournier]

Violet is on mat leave. Florence is on sick leave. Both of them are moms, tied to their young children by invisible wires of steel… while their husbands barely notice they’re alive. Together, these two bored, abandoned and dissatisfied women decide to take their pleasure into their own hands and fight back in the most hilarious way possible: by going on a shared mission to seduce a string of lovers, all without walking out the front door.

Home Deliveries premiered on March 21, 2025 at the Jericho Arts Centre in Vancouver, Canada, as a co-production of United Players and Ruby Slippers Theatre, which also commissioned the translation with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. The director was Diane Brown.

Two Women, Chloé Robichaud’s film adaptation of Catherine Léger’s play Deux femmes en or, won the Best Script prize at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theatres in May 2025.

FLORENCE: I was watching CBC yesterday. Did you know that monogamy was invented for men, not for women? 

VIOLET: I didn’t even know it was invented, I thought it was natural. 

FLORENCE: It’s there so that a loser has a chance to get a woman, too. In a polygamist system, the richest and handsomest men get all the girls. And there’s nothing left for ordinary guys. 

VIOLET: So monogamy’s good, right? Every man has a woman, and every woman has a man. 

FLORENCE: But, a loser man. (beat) Sometimes 1/8th of a hot guy beats an entire loser.
