Hosanna (Play)

Saw it on: April 1st, 2006 at the Nouveau Monde Theatre.

What it's about: An aging drag queen is confronted with the cruelty of her friends and boyfriend during a "look alike" contest. Set in the 70s. Written by Michel Tremblay.

Distribution:

Benoit Brière / Hosanna

Normand D'Amour / Cuirette

What I thought of it: I simply loved it! Brière was amazing and totally believable as a drag queen. D'Amour was also very good. They both rendered the emotions so well. I cried at the end. I was truly moved by this love story that showed that it can be hard at time to love, to feel love or to even be loved.

If you don't have a chance to see it, you should at least read the play.
