Lilies
by Michel Marc Bouchard, trans.
Linda Gaboriau
This is a play within a play. The central
plot concerns two young boys in a Catholic college, in 1912, who fall
in love while working on a play about St. Sebastian. Their passion ends
in tragedy with one boy sent to prison, the other dead. Years later,
as the aged inmate is about to be released, he is visited by the local
monsignor, who as a boy was party to the tragic events. The inmate re-stages
the entire story as a play, forcing the monsignor to admit his role
in the tragedy.
“This play is definitely a masterpiece
of Québec theatre…” —Le Devoir
“…Lilies sends its playwright
to the pinnacle of Québec theatre.”
—Montreal Mirror
