Germaine Lauzon has won a million trading stamps from a department store. Her head swimming with dreams of refurbishing and redecorating her working-class home from top to bottom with catalogue selections ranging from new kitchen appliances to “real Chinese paintings on velvet,” she invites fourteen of her friends and relatives in the neighbourhood over to help her paste t..more

Shelves: book-reviews, french-literature, translations, drama
A decent enough English language translation (I guess), still set in Montreal, and supposedly this particular version of Michel Tremblay's Les Belles Sours was the one performed at the Stratford Festival in 1991. But while it does faithfully keep to both the general and particular themes and contents of the French (Canadian) original, I sorely miss the Joual, the sociolect or dialect of East End, working class Montreal of Tremblay's text (as this rather standard English language translation real..more

While The Guid Sisters (a translation of Michel Tremblay's absolutely brilliant and often wildly humorous, but nevertheless always critical, even at times infuriatingly heartbreaking drama Les Belles-Soeurs into modern Scots by William Findlay and Martin Bowman) does indeed faithfully keep to both the general and particular themes and contents of Tremblay's French (Canadian) original, and while I actually do very much appreciate the sense of working class parlance that this translation into a sp..more

Both uproariously funny and also painfully heartbreaking at the same time, for me it is the Joual, the sociolect of East End working class Montreal in which Michel Tremblay's text is penned that makes his classic French Canadian play Les Belles-Sours such an absolutely perfectly shining and glowing gem (an exposé of both individual and collective corruption and manipulation, of how the Catholic Church controls all, even though both the Church and the people, the Quebecois as a whole, are general..more

This play put me in mind of a piano piece I played when I was growing up, entitled “Two Ladies Gossiping” by Russian composer Aram Khachaturian. Except that the title of this play could have been “Fifteen Ladies Gossiping.” With an all-female cast, the action of this play takes place on a single night when middle-aged Germaine Lauzon invites over all of her friends and relations to solicit their help in putting her recently won million department store coupons into coupon books. In other words,..more

I grew up in Montreal. I have a Québécois accent, but I do not use the Québécois dialect. Contrary to what other provinces or countries may believe, not all of Québec speaks the way the Belles-Soeurs do.
Ever since I started high school, my French teachers had been rambling on and on about Les Belles-Soeurs and how it was such a quintessential representation of 'our society' and 'our dialect'. On and on and on they went. And I, being a typical immigrant, could not care less about this play writte..more

Billed as representing French-speaking Quebec, with their own working-class culture being stamped on the play, I really was quite intrigued. I can't say that I've read anything that was said to represent that culture, nor do I know much about it. In short, this was a pleasure to branch out and give a go.

In my continuous efforts to understand Québec, I bought this play. Michel Tremblay is the quintessential québécois writer, and this is one of his most important pieces. Written in the joual of Montréal, it tries to capture how people actually speak. Like the Irish of J.M. Synge or that weird New England accent of Eugene O'Neill. I would have loved to have my roommate read it to me because I can't hear the accent always in my head, but I don't know if that would have been considered weird.

Michel Tremblay’s play Les Belles-Soeurs is raucous, energetic, and boisterous – and, because women so rarely get to be boisterous onstage, it’s revolutionary. The play plunks you down in the kitchen of Germaine, a middle-aged housewife in 1960s Montreal. She’s just won a million department-store coupons in a contest, and she’s invited fourteen of her neighbors to help her paste the coupons into booklets. Gossip, squabbling, scandal, and even a brawl ensue.

This is a rendering of Les Belles Soeurs into Scottish brogue and it is even funnier than the original. One of my friends and I read it out loud and we could barely stop laughing.

I was looking forward to reading this, as I've heard it's THE Québécois play, but it did nothing for me.
Maybe I missed out by not reading this in the original French, but I didn't get much out of this play. The characters are so over-the-top, and so awful to each other! The only halfway-decent character was Pierrette, and her entire family has disowned her because she works in a club? Again, maybe I'm missing something and it's supposed to be implied that it's some kinky sex club or something, b..more

A play between book covers rarely measure-up to the “live happening” itself. This is particularly evident with “Les Belles Soeurs” as one must hear the vivid rhythmic lamentations recited by the sisters, in unison without expression, like a requiem for the lost hope of a meaningful life, to feel their dark despair and appreciate the innovative signature of the author. Nonetheless, while waiting for an opportunity to see the play, the written word also succeeds in conveying the forceful message...more

This was a difficult piece to rate for me. In the first place, it's a script, and I haven't read a script since high school which was, well, a few years ago. And scripts simply are not my favourite thing to read. Secondly, I read the English translation since my French isn't up to snuff, so I missed out on the essence of the slang.

As soon as I found out that “Les Belles-Soeurs” had been translated into modern Scots, I wanted to read it. I couldn’t imagine anything more appropriate- from one despised sociolect to another, albeit that we had perhaps more pride and defiance in ours - the continuing invention of new Scots words, often humorous, despite the onslaught of USA English via the media continues.
The translation is, in my opinion, rather more crude than the original- but the gap of 20 years between the two, and the c..more

This play is in a league of its own. Anyone who has ever performed it deserves an award. It was absolute chaos - the type that was, at times, difficult to keep track of because there were just SO MANY characters.
I hated nearly every character in the book. All were judgemental assholes that I simply wanted to throttle. The only normal one was Pierrette - bless her broken heart and stripper soul. We'd be pals, her and I. She's cool. We can judge her sisters together.

It has some interesting ideas, not sure if this is something that really happens (happened?) in Quebec or if the playwright invented it, but the play's premise begins with one of the sisters winning a million stamps and throwing a stamp pasting party where her friends all paste stamps in booklets. The booklets can then be redeemed for household goods - like furniture or dustpans.

I really enjoyed reading this play. It was funny and weird in it's own way. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I thought it was a bit too short. And even though the ending was hilarious, yet somehow sad, I was frustrated that I didn't really understand why they were singing the Canadian anthem. Like I found it funny that they were doing that in the middle of a crisis, but I didnt understand why they were doing it. Nonetheless, still an enjoyable read.

I read this play today with the Actor's Circle of the Albuquerque Theatre Guild, and it was quite a surprise of awesomeness. It is all female play and the characters are very blue-collar and very Catholic. The characters reminded me a lot of women I grew up in Northern Idaho. I absolutely loved the humor/farce and the monologues. This is definitely something to remember for an all female play and for anyone looking for a fabulous all female play with great characters..this is one of them..a lo..more

This drama is hilarious, and very life-like! You may want to take a course in Québécois French dialect first though, because Michel Tremblay lays the dialect on really thick. For me it was perfect, because I studied the dialect before and love it. My only regret is that I can't seem to find any video of it even though it is said to have been on Canadian TV. I MUST see this played!

Set in the 70s in Quebec. I laughed out loud in some parts, it reminded me so much of my mother and aunts, all that Latin blood of gossip, competition and quarrel. I like the social criticism - the hypocrisy of religious people, like some sins are worse than others.

My 11th grade role in the school play as Gabrielle Jodoin made these women real to me, and very sympathetic. When I read this as an English student at university I realized how unsympathetic they could be. Interesting read, very funny.

Né en 1942, Michel Tremblay grandit dans un appartement de Montréal où s'entassent plusieurs familles. Ses origines modestes marqueront d'ailleurs ses œuvres, souvent campées au cœur de la classe ouvrière, où misères sociale et morale se côtoient. En 1964, il participe au Concours des jeunes auteurs de Radio-Canada, avec une pièce de théâtre intitulée Le train, et remporte le premier prix. C'est à..more
