Publisher's Synopsis

Three plays from the renowned Quebecois writer. The Guid Sisters is a Scots version of Michel Tremblay's Les Belles Soeurs (Montreal, 1968), by Bill Findlay & Martin Bowman. Germaine Lauzon has won a million Green Shield stamps. She invites her female friends and relations to a party to paste the stamps into the books. The temptation to pilfer the stamps is irresistible and an enormous fight breaks out. Manon/Sandra is a controversial but humane duet crosscutting between the lives of Manon, an obsessively religious girl, and 'Sandra', a sex-obsessed transvestite. Albertine in Five Times is a one-act portrait of a woman at five different ages.
