The Rogers family drama was epic. An imperious and secretive billionaire telecom overlord clan loathed across the nation, a ne’er do well heir to the throne and his fashionista wife hanging out at Mar-a-Lago, his secret scheme to seize control of his dead father’s empire exposed by an errant butt dial.
If that had happened anywhere else, you bet they'd make a movie about it. But it happened in Canada, eh. So instead of a blockbuster they made a one man play about it. Playwright Michael Healey wrote that play and he joins us today to survey the saga that was Rogers vs. Rogers.
