And Slowly Beauty…
by Michel Nadeautranslated by Maureen Labonté
in collaboration with Marie-Josée Bastien, Lorraine Côté, Hugues Frenette, Pierre-François Legendre, Véronika Makdissi-Warren and Jack Robitaille
directed by Michael Shamata
Toronto Premiere | A Belfry Theatre/National Arts Centre English Theatre co-production
When Mr. Mann wins tickets to Russian playwright Anton Chekhov’s The Three Sisters, he knows he must go — even though he rarely goes to the theatre. In those few precious hours, something unexpected stirs inside of him and his quiet yearning for happiness blossoms. A love letter to art.
a complex, infinitely rich play … a work of such subtlety and nuance … virtuoso ability to balance humour and drama particularly fine. Victoria Times-Colonist
Tarragon continues its long tradition of presenting English translations of acclaimed plays with this poignant and magical work from Quebec City’s Théâtre Niveau Parking.
