Notes: | Original Playwright - Michel Tremblay | |||||
| Five actresses portray Albertine at different times of her life whilst conversing freely with each other and with their sister Madeleine. Albertine at 30 is recuperating in the country after viciously beating her 11-year-old daughter; Albertine at 40 is a virago at war with the world; at 50 she has rejected her past by reinventing it; at 60 she has given in to depression; at 70 she's found a kind of peace. First performed in London in 1986 at the Donmar Warehouse. | |||||

Synopsis: | Presenting both their past and present lives, Carmen and Manon agonize-within and between themselves-over the relationship between their parents, Leopold and Marie-Lou. The two sisters are torn in their loyalties to a mother who was uninvolved and a father who was emotionally and physically abusive. They struggle with the image of their father as a monster and who has caused a rift between the sisters, who, until a visit to the family home one weekend, have been unable to confront their anger. Scenes from the past reveal the father as a dominant sexual ogre and the mother as submissive, repressed, and resentful. We learn that to alleviate his own frustration, Leopold drove Marie-Lou over a cliff, ridding himself of the constant pain in his life. The two daughters are left with the legacy of torment, as they struggle to identify their father as a monster and then move on with their own lives. | |||||
