Résumé This play presents a desperate situation in raw, untethered language, with characters who have a lot to lose. They are the
products of violence, fear, prison and drugs. They are losers, real losers. They are so lost they still think they can
change the course of their lives. They risk what little they have, everything they can beg, borrow... or steal. Convinced they have a great tip, they head for the race track. The stakes are high... and they've all bet on Lucky Lady. Extrait « BERNIE : When that car rolled, I shoulda died, you know. It's a godamm miracle. Like God himself was saying to me : "Hey Sucker! Last chance! Last one! Don't fuck it up!" I saw bottom, I saw it. Didn't just see it, I touched it. Touched it! I fuckin touched it! All the bad shit. The lies. The ones people tell ya, the ones ya tell yourself. That ya tell yourself, that ya tell yourself, man! Heavy! Very heavy! » Revue de presse "Lucky Lady is without doubt one of the best suspense stories to come out of Canadian theatre in ages (...) The play unfolds like a good guitar riff with a lot of groove." Rémy Charest, Le Devoir Montreal, January 13, 1995. |
