Previews begin tomorrow for this highly anticipated show that was a sleeper hit at the 2010 SummerWorks festival! The show is being staged at Buddies in Bad Times and runs until April 8th. For tickets or more info please click the header!
Show Description:
Buddies is thrilled to present the professional English Canadian premiere of this internationally acclaimed play, in a translation by Caryl Churchill.
A disturbing dissection of our celebrity obsessed culture.
As four Wal-Mart employees lovingly recount the details of Céline Dion’s farewell concert, their story becomes dark and violent tales of a miscarriage, a young woman who has been chained to the bed by her abusive family, and a woman who has literally turned herself inside out. Choinière’s script masterfully blends these stories to point where the glamour of a pop star and the horrors of abuse are indistinguishable. As each story mirrors the others, we begin to see the darker side of our insatiable appetite for the private lives of public figures, and the underlying mythic origins of these desires. INSPIRED BY THE TRUE STORY OF ISABELLE COTE.
