Forever Yours, Marie-Lou

Texte de Michel Tremblay
Translated by John Van Burek & Bill Glassco
Mise en scène de Sarah Stanley

First staged at Montreal’s Théâtre Quat’Sous in 1971, Forever Yours, Marie-Lou, is one of the great Michel Tremblay plays never before staged in English in Montreal.

Set in the early 1970’s when The Main (St. Laurent Blvd.) was electric with an exotic nightlife frequented by a Quebec population at an historical crossroads, this potent play strikes at the heart of an unforgettable, dysfunctional Québecois family. Carmen, a country singer returns home to convince Manon, her sister, to end years of mourning the death of their parents. Past and present intermingle as the two daughters struggle to reconcile their visions of the past, while the parents, Marie-Lou and Léopold, enact the events leading up to their meeting with powers beyond their control.
