Surprise! Surprise! (en anglais) [1975]
(in La Duchesse de Langeais & Other Plays, Talonbooks, Vancouver, 1976)
Original
Résumé A surprise party organized by phone turns into a headache when the wrong Madeleine is invited to the birthday celebration. Not only is she not the birthday girl, she's the "right" Madeleine's sworn enemy! Extrait « JEANNINE : Well, today is her birthday. We're not going to wait till Easter! / LAURETTE : That's not what I mean. Can't we wait till the weekend? That'd give us time to get ready. / JEANNINE : No, no, if we don't do it today, it doesn't count… And we've made it for suppertime 'cause the girls like to go to bed early… » Revue de presse "Even more than the comic qualities, the musicality and the pacing of this text are fascinating." Luc Boulanger, Voir, October 28, 1993. |
