Coffee Break!

Totally unrelated to the rich world of coffee but  definitely deserves a mention i: Yasmina Reza's play God of Carnage. It is about time a "darkly humorous"(Kathryn Greenaway, Gazette) play sets foot in Montreal and, according to the press, this play is bound to have spectators rolling around laughing in their seats (not to mention that it won a Tony Award so it must be good).

I look forward to see what Reza has in store for us in this play. The plot is fairly simple (but leaves room for ALOT of action/creativity): two couples meeting to discuss a bullying incident involving their 11 year old kids, only for the meeting to get out of control. Reza will most likely rely on a witty text and absurd behaviour (though I have heard, pinch me if I am wrong, that Reza enjoys some slap-stick comedy as well, looking forward to that!). The play stars Ellen David and Mark Camacho and is directed by Roy Surette. God of Carnage shall being running at the Centaur from November 8th to December 4th.

If you are not a fan of the theatre, a theatrical version of the film directed by Roman Polanski will be coming out (titled simply Carnage) and will be staring Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz.

I look forward to blogging about the experience
