  • Pièces en un acte : théâtre

    Creator

    Castelein de la Lande, André

    Abstract

    Composées au cours des années 1930, Pièces en un acte s’inspirent de la vie familiale dans laquelle les parents règnent en maîtres incontestés, les belles-mères s’épuisent en dévouements inutiles, les couples se déchirent à vau-l’eau et les escrocs récidivent à chaque instant… Composées par le fondateur du Cercle Molière, les pièces sont encore jouées aujourd’hui.

    Williams, Kenneth T.

    Abstract

    Gordon Winter is an RCMP hero, a life-long champion of First Nations rights, and a bigot. He’s challenging the next generation of chiefs to stand up to the federal government when he spews a Nazi-inspired racist and homophobic rant. Suddenly, one of the most revered First Nations leaders is now one of the most reviled human beings in Canada. While most want to consign Winter to the dustbin of history, some are quick to defend a man who did so much good in his life. Questions get asked: how should society respond to such outrageous comments from a prominent and public figure?
