This play was fantastic. It was very realistic and yes action pact, even if the only actions were through discussion and the revelation of the truth. The characters each had such a distinct voice that I did not even need to read the tags after a knowing their way of speech. I absolutely loved the strained family dynamics, which made for an interesting read. This play has also successfully touched upon themes of religion, sex, love, corruptness, innocence, depression and suicide, truth and lies, growing up, and seriously many more for such a short play. Overall, an amazing, self-aware, and thought provoking play.
Une pièce bien ficelée qui témoigne de la règle du silence des familles bourgeoises québécoises, en plein bouleversement sociaux de la Révolution tranquille.
J'ai particulièrement apprécié l'histoire de Robert (spoiler) qui raconte son aventure avec Rodrigue. Dubé écrit cette homoromance avec la sensibilité et la compréhension de ce qu'est l'amour entre deux hommes. "Nous savions tous les deux que nous avions besoin l'un de l'autre pour apprendre les secrets du monde, pour aimer la vie jusqu'à vouloir en mourir."
