The exaggerated characters Are in fact ridiculous and also tragic. The Ivi hour play without intermission ends As it starts with three of a cast of four seated on stage As the audience enters. The play is set in a working class Home where the characters Mother father and two daughters Are unable to Cope with the outside world or to better their Fate. Cynical but most of All they Are believable. The actors work earned Money he spends his time in a tavern haunted by Well together none can be sin-1 the fear of going mad. Led out for a better Perfor-1 Irene Mahe As the pious and they become conscious of their plight and the realization of this slowly destroys them. The language is absolutely crude. It is a form of French Canadian Slang favored by the author Michel Tremblay of Quebec. But one reference to a Montreal Street was replaced by main Street by the director of the Cercle to bring the Mes Sage closer to Home. The characters Are hard and Mance. Jeannette Ireland As Marie Lou the Mother and Francis Fontaine As Leopold the father were perfect. Little fights and big arguments All become too familiar. Both actors interpreted Well the multiple facets of their characters at once cruel and gentle hopeless but remember ing the past belligerent and soft spoken. Miss Arcand is vindictive and hypocritical she wants pity and Longs for understanding but taunts and goads her Hus band. Easily scandalized she is a frustrated old maid who has been unable to Cope with mar ried life especially the physical or. Fontaine is the picture of the harassed and alienated self pitying daughter Manon is spaced out on religion like a drug. Her interpretation of this character is a skilful blending of callousness hypocrisy am faked innocence As she lives i the past to justify her non exis tent life. Jacqueline Hogarth As car men the other daughter and Black sheep of the family brings a touch of reality to the play. She is ludicrous but she is real and offers the Only Ray of Hope. Her work As a Cowboy song performer May be trivial to others but she likes it and is Happy. In that Way she is free and has managed to make con tact with the outside world.
