“Well-to-do young heiress, intelligent and perceptive, who has never loved anyone, is seeking a man who will interest, move and seduce her. Substantial reward offered.”  

Béatrice waits up her tower in her nearly empty room for the perfect man to arrive. John answers the call. He has to climb up all thirty-three flights because the elevator has broken down. Will the ever-longing-for-perfection eternal feminine, find love? Will the mythical macho adventurer, find insight and settle down? A cross between a Greek Myth and a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.  

A play by Carole Fréchette, internationally acclaimed and Governor General Award-winning playwright, performed in Montréal for the first time.

A woman, a piano, and five lovers. Six obsessive love songs. Nine dying fathers and a forgotten spouse or two.  

A theatrical performance event full of passion, lamentation and frivolity. Themes of yearning, inanity and insanity are played out to the tune of Chopin’s Funeral March and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. This is Kurt Weill’s Threepenny Opera meeting Aeschylus’ Electra. A cross between Peggy Lee and Mozart improvising “Variations on the Theme of Love”.

A personal look at the nature of Faith in our Google Universe.  

A minister, his beliefs riddled with doubt and uncertainty, is confronted by a new member of the congregation whose life has been saved by his rebirth in Christ. Set in a small rural community in contemporary Québec, the two figures, one based upon Apostle Paul, the other on Apostle Peter struggle to define true faith. Does Salvation come from good deeds or by accepting Christ as a personal Saviour?
