The universe of Michel Tremblay’s La Duchesse de Langeais is back in a production by Rita Lafontaine, one of playwright’s favorite actresses. The character of Edward, one of the protagonists in Tremblay’s work, is portrayed brilliantly by Francis Bourgea, a young actor who has managed to slip into the shoes of a character that is larger than life. Rita Lafontaine has re-staged this play, which was originally created 40 years ago. The show is a tribute to author Michel Tremblay, her friend and accomplice over these past decades. In creating some fifteen roles for Tremblay’s work, Lafontaine has developed a deep understanding of the playwright’s world. This is a classic Tremblay play that presents two worlds: one, of outrageously wild characters with an incredible sense of repartee and the other, an understated and subtle world of poignant emotions.
