A masterpiece from one of Quebec’s most celebrated and iconic playwrights, this is Michel Tremblay’s moving homage to his incredible mother. The play recounts the way she nurtured his imagination, his reclusive reading habits, and his love for the theatre and the arts. In a compelling balance of humour and poignancy translated to English by Linda Gaboriau, the play offers us a glimpse into the beautiful relationship that inspired Tremblay to become the celebrated artist he is today.
