Maggie and Pierre

Synopsis:
Three characters. Pierre Trudeau, Margaret Trudeau, a journalist named Henry. Maggie and Pierre takes place from 1974 to 1980. Three characters caught in the battle of reason over passion. . .passion over reason. A nation is changing, a leader has emerged, so has his nemesis - the beautiful flower child Margaret Trudeau. Henry is caught, he loves/hates Pierre, is in love with Maggie, and loves his country. It's a triangle with a nation at stake. What follows is a mock epic, the story of two fatally attracted idealists. "The Trudeaus, their relationship with each other and with us, are a touchstone for the shattered ideals, the betrayed hopes and the still simmering tensions of the past decade." Rick Groen, The Globe and Mail. "The trouble with reviewing Maggie and Pierre is to know where to start admiring it. . .what lifts the play above expectations is it's compassion. Griffiths' explores our erstwhile first couple without ever taking a cheap shot. . ..a play in which every second sentence is memorable. Maggie & Pierre shows power, finesse and insight. " Ray Conologue, The Globe and Mail.

Notes:
written by Paul Thompson And Linda Griffiths. . . .a very funny but very serious exploration of the lives And emotions of two people  An owl And A pussycat going out to sea in A runcible boat Clive Barnes, New York Post.
