A non-complaisant view of both sides – the English
and the American! (A satirical take – not the first one by David Hollingsworth,
at the expense of Canadian themes!) This is the bi-centennial of this un-glorified
war… Not offensive at all for a French-Canadian…!
A Word or Two
A celebration of words by Master Plummer, in an
hour and half monologue! His life through quotations…and French songs of his early
youth, sang by his mother ( and that he sings!) – interesting and surprising: a
case of “politically correct” revisionism?
Elektra
Greek tragedy, by Sophokles; directed by a Greek!
Very tragic! I am reminded of Antigone, given Elektra’s determination – in this
case to avenge her father’s death. I thought very well rendered the modern way
that the chorus is presented. Very good casting - all are excellent; I liked it very much!
