Strawberries In January

By: Evelyne de la Chenelière
Translated by: Morwyn Brebner

"A wonderful witty and unquestionably lovely piece of theatre." Calgary Sun

"Watching Strawberries in January is like listening to music. The orchestration is rich, and the lines dance with ease, precision and clarity--and above all, wit." Calgary Herald

François wishes life could be more like the movies. A frustrated screenwriter, he uses every event in his life as inspiration. He casts Sophie, his ex-flatmate-turned-lover-turned-friend, opposite Robert-a university professor. Outside Montréal, Sophie's childhood friend Léa, who runs a B & B, claims she's drowning in ‘too much fresh air and boredom'. A surprising, passionate encounter provokes her to seek out Sophie for a reunion. Their stories collide and interweave with intriguing serendipity.

Originally written in Québec French, the play won the Masque Award for Best Original Script.

Champlain Theatre is excited to announce that the play will be directed by Canadian Gordon McCall, whose thirty-year career as an award-winning director includes recognition as one of the major contributors to the creation, development and dissemination of a Canadian theatrical voice on the national and international stage. Under Gordon's leadership as the Artistic/Executive Director, Montréal's renowned Centaur Theatre won 10 Les Masques awards, 12 Mecca awards, and the coveted Grand Prix award in Theatre.
