In one of his most daring theatrical achievements, Michel Tremblay presents the story of one woman, Albertine, at five different times in her life.

What a good play should be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Most inventively, Tremblay sets the same character, Albertine, at five distinc periods of her life. Thus, five actresses will each play Albertine at a certain age and react with one another. This idea alone is worth the price, but has genuine directions takes place and crafted acting moves-in, the hidden textual pearls of wisdom will remind you that the ones who think only Shakespear had genius are trully insignificant snobs. (and I taught they were all guillotined in 1789. Best of all, the text and ideas brought forward are as universal as can be. Glenn St-Yves
