Desire [1996]
Original
Résumé The minute Veronica lays eyes on Ashley, she knows he is the love of her life. Much to the surprise of her friends and family, she decides to get married. But the day before the wedding, a passing look at another man makes her change her mind. This play is a summer love story set on a lake in Québec. It is a comedy featuring six characters, each searching for love and happiness and not always recognizing when they have them. The play is a farcical look at human nature. Extrait « MRS. CHAPMAN: Yesterday, the Tremblay-Patapopoulos wedding did me in. Tourtière and tzaziki - I never saw so many people sick. And, sorry, but you can't line-dance to Nana Mouskouri. […] I'm not cut out for this job anymore. I hear the wedding march, and my eczema acts up. » Revue de presse « Last summer, the original French production was the surprise success of the season (…). For Desire contains all of Bouchard's complex and painful themes. » Aurèle Parisien, Hour, August 15 to 21, 1996. |
