Albertine In Five Times
Five actresses portray albertine at different times of her life whilst conversing freely with each other and with their sister Madeleine. albertine at 30 is recuperating in the country after viciously beating her 11-year-old daughter; albertine at 40 is a virago at war with the world; at 50 she has rejected her past by reinventing it; at 60 she has given in to depression; at 70 she's found a kind of peace. First performed in London in 1986 at the Donmar Warehouse.

For the Pleasure Of Seeing Her Again

For the Pleasure Of Seeing Her Again
Presenting both their past and present lives, Carmen and Manon agonize-within and between themselves-over the relationship between their parents, Leopold and Marie-Lou. the two sisters are torn in their loyalties to a mother who was uninvolved and a Father who was emotionally and physically abusive. they struggle with the image of their Father as a monster and who has caused a rift between the sisters, who, until a visit to the family home one weekend, have been unable to confront their anger. Scenes from the past reveal the Father as a dominant sexual ogre and the mother as submissive, repressed, and resentful. We learn that to alleviate his own frustration, Leopold drove Marie-Lou over a cliff, ridding himself of the constant pain in his life. the two daughters are left with the legacy of torment, as they struggle to identify their Father as a monster and then move on with their own lives.

Scorched

Scorched
Making their way through the dunes are Nawal's twin children, Janine and Simon, who want to solve the mystery of their origins. In retracing the bitter history of their mother (enveloped in silence until her death), other characters come into the story-witnesses or key players able to assist in the investigation. Carried aloft by poetic language, the inquiry pursued by Janine and Simon unfolds in a dreamlike atmosphere that cultivates the mystery surrounding a knife thrust into the heart of childhood.

Tom At the Farm

Tom At the Farm
Following the accidental death of his lover, and in the throes of his grief, urban ad executive Tom travels to the country to attend the funeral and to meet his mother-in-law, Agatha, and her son, Francis  neither of whom know Tom even exists. Arriving at the remote rural farm, and immediately drawn into the dysfunction of the familys relationships, Tom is blindsided by his lost partners legacy of untruth. With the mother expecting a chainsmoking girlfriend, and the older brother hellbent on preserving a facade of normalcy, Tom is coerced into joining the duplicity until, at last, he confronts the torment that drove his lover to live in the shadows of deceit.the lover  the friend, the son, the brother, the nameless dead man  has left behind a fable woven of false-truths which, according to his own teenage diaries, were essential to his survival. In this same rural setting, one young man had once destroyed another young man who loved yet another. Like an ancient tragedy, years later, this drama will shape the destiny of Tom.

Notes:
Original Playwright - Michel Marc Bouchard. In a play that unfolds with progressively blurred boundaries between lust and brutality, between truth and elaborate ?ction, Bouchard dramatizes how gay men often must learn to lie before they learn how to love. Throughout 2011 and 2012, Tom at the Farm was produced in Quebec and France, as Tom ą la ferme, and in Mexico, as Tom en la granja. Award-winning Quebec director Xavier Dolan adapted the play for the screen in 2013, with Caleb Landry Jones in the leading role.
