For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again

Summary: Is there any limit to Tremblay's genius?
Review: Another brilliant success from Tremblay.. He makes us care profoundly about his own history and family, bringing us into his world completely. I continue to marvel at his skill in confounding time without confusing his audience. His humor is as profound and entertaining as ever, his insight touching and relevant, and the staging he builds into this play... two characters, one seated until the very end and then a sensational and spectacular ending that is impossible to read without laughter and tears and must be a thrilling experience to see on stage. Amazing connections and linkages with his previous work.

Summary: Humourous and Touching, but difficult to perform.
Review: I picked up this play because I really liked the title. I really enjoyed reading the play. At a few points I was laughing uncontrollably, but at others I was unable to grasp the concept at what I should be laughing about. Take into account that I only read this play last night, and it was my first read at it. I think that this one would be difficult from my point of view as a director because the Narrator (one of the two chars) never leaves his chair until the end. It would be difficult for me to keep things interesting, but It would be a nice challenge to be able to pull it off. I, as an actor, would love to be able to pull off learning one of Nana's HUGE monologues, but since I am not even close to the age of that character I won't bother for now. I think that it is a wonderful play which has a lot of hidden meaning in it, and I am planning on reading it again this weekend so I can discover more. Thanks Michel.
