Céline Dion speaks through an Oracle to a group of cashiers at a Wal-Mart. She takes us on a journey from her triumphant farewell concert to the bedroom of her number one fan, who has spent most of her life chained to the bed by her family. Our insatiable appetite for celebrity is the topic of this darkly surrealistic play by Quebecois dramatist Olivier Choinière. Buddies is thrilled to present the professional English Canadian premiere of this internationally-acclaimed play, in a translation by Caryl Churchill.
