‘THE
GUID SISTERS’
by Michel Tremblay (Translated by Bill Findlay & Martin Bowman. By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.) Wed
15th, Thurs 16th, Fri 17th, Sat 18th and Mon 20th December 2004 It is 1965 in Montreal, and Germaine Lauzon has won a million ‘Green Shield Stamps’ in a competition! But before she can claim all the lovely prizes that she has her eyes on, she must stick them all into the booklets that came with the stamps! A ‘stamp-sticking’ party is organised and Germaine’s sisters and neighbours are invited round to help out. But jealousy and greed raise their ugly heads and the party ends up delivering more surprises than Germaine could ever have imagined… The Guid Sisters is Quebec Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay’s 1960’s social comedy, originally written in Quebec French as Les Belles-Soeurs and now translated to English, in Glaswegian dialect!! With an all-female cast of fourteen (two of our females will be played by men!) the play at once provides serious social comment and broad working class humour, in a story peopled by carefully crafted and outrageously funny characters: Germaine’s ‘good sisters’ from the Glasgow/Montreal tenement in which she lives. The
play is directed by Derek Ross. |
