MICHEL TREMBLAY - The Guid-Sisters
Michel Tremblay of Canada worked is a well-known playwright. Les Belles-Soeurs was a great success commercially, aesthetically, and politically — not the least because of Tremblay’s masterful use of joual, the "corrupt" street-smart argot of the working class. The play has been translated into English, and performed in English, but an English too proper, too flat, too devoid of disfiguring beauty. This translation into Scots-English is the closest approximation of the original to date.
