Toronto, December 20, 2011 –Théâtre français de Toronto (TfT) is pleased to present Zone by Marcel Dubé, in co-production with Théâtre la Catapulte (Ottawa), at the Berkeley Street Theatre, February 1 to 12, 2012.
A long-awaited production, the play received the coveted Coup de foudre award at Contact ontarois in January 2011. The actors were treated to a spontaneous standing ovation: the gamble paid off for director Jean Stéphane Roy, who succeeded in moving audiences with Marcel Dubé’s script, where love, youth, and death mix in 1950s Montréal. A cross between Robin Hood and West Side Story, Marcel Dubé’s great script never ceases to surprise with its simple poetry and disconcerting topicality.
The play will tour throughout Ontario in the spring of 2012, following a run at Théâtre français de Toronto February 1 to 12, 2012, and at the La Nouvelle Scène in Ottawa on February 25.
Direction: Jean Stéphane Roy.
With Nicolas Desfossés, Dave Jenniss, Maxime Lavoie, Richard J. Léger, Frédérique Thérien and Jean-Simon Traversy.
