Three plays from the renowned Quebecois writer.

The Guid Sisters is a Scots version of Michel Tremblay's Les Belles Soeurs (Montreal, 1968), by Bill Findlay & Martin Bowman.

Germaine Lauzon has won a million Green Shield stamps. She invites her female friends and relations to a party to paste the stamps into the books. The temptation to pilfer the stamps is irresistible and an enormous fight breaks out.

Manon/Sandra is a controversial but humane duet crosscutting between the lives of Manon, an obsessively religious girl, and 'Sandra', a sex-obsessed transvestite.

Albertine in Five Times is a one-act portrait of a woman at five different ages.

MEDIA REVIEWS

'When Tremblay's Les Belles Soeurs opened in Montreal in 1968 it shocked, it confounded, and established the then 26-year-old playwright's reputation immediately ... Tremblay is not merely a Quebecois writer, he is a cultural hero' - Guardian on 'The Guid Sisters'

'A sharp, merciless black comedy ... the Tremblay dialogue - written in the once despised 'joual' French dialect of Quebec - translates into urban Scots as though the languages were long lost twins' - Scotsman on 'The Guid Sisters'
