Carole Fréchette: Two Plays
by Carole Fréchette, trans.
John Murrell
John and Beatrice
High above the city, Beatrice
sits on the 33rd floor of an office tower waiting for the right man
to respond to her ad. When John appears, the games begin. But if he
wins, what then?
A play about the difficulty
of connection and the meaning of love.
“John and Beatrice is, quite
simply, exquisite: it should be savoured.” —Le Soir,
Brussels
Helen’s Necklace
Helen wanders through a Middle
Eastern city looking for a lost pearl necklace. In language as shimmering
as the strand of pearls itself—its value isn’t what we initially
think—Fréchette brings Helen into contact with a series of people,
from a friendly taxi driver to a distraught mother and an angrily impassioned
man. Helen’s world is irrevocably changed by her search for a trinket.
“A pearl of a play… riveting!”
—NOW Magazine, Toronto
