For the Pleasure of Seeng Her Again

Written by Michel Tremblay, French-speaking Canada’s most important playwright, For the Pleasure of Seeng Her Again is simplicity itself: mother and son reliving important and mundane conversations throughout their lives together; conversations that invigorated, exasperated, delighted and inspired the son to go into a career which, at that time – the 1960s – was considered not much better than a hobby. The conversations, all of which give centre stage to the mother, are often hilarious, revolving around her versions of stories that have become part of the Tremblay mythos: her love of hokey French literature, her gossip about relatives, her hugely exaggerated re-enactments of moments in the family’s history. The function of the narrator/son is one, mostly, of listening and cajoling this phenomenally entertaining figure into talking. This is a special treat for any family on Mother’s Day weekend!
