Original
Résumé Opposites attract, and between people there is yin and yang. Two couples to be share their antics and views on romance, dating and the search for true love. Extrait « SOPHIE : I don't see why, if we like buying groceries together, cleaning up together, eating breakfast together, watching old movies together, I really don't see why we wouldn't like making love together, something more exciting, it strikes me, than groceries, cleaning or movies so I suggest we get married in the spring. » Revue de presse « De la Chenelière’s text is a reflection on, and almost an apology for, lying. All of the characters in Des fraises, to a greater or lesser degree, tell unthruths about themselves. » Amy Barratt, Mirror, January 31 to February 6, 2002.&r
« Strawberries in January is what it wants to be, and what we need: a tonic for our frosty souls in these dragging days of winter. », Montreal Mirror
« […] This is a very clever little show which operates on two levels: light and fluffy on the surface and hard as glass underneath. Rona Munro’s translation and Roxanna Silbert’s production understand that the real play here is not just in the delicious, cream puff dialogue but in the gaps between it, too. »Lyn Gardner, The Guardian, UK, Thursday August 10, 2006 |
