Michel Tremblay (born 25 June 1942) is a French-Canadian novelist and playwright. Tremblay was born in Montreal, Quebec, where he grew up in the French-speaking neighbourhood of Plateau Mont-Royal; at the time of his birth, a neighbourhood with a working-class character and joual dialect - something that would heavily influence his work. Tremblay's first professionally produced play, '' Les Belles-Sœurs'', was written in 1965 and premiered at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert on August 28, 1968. It transformed the old guard of Canadian theatre and introduced joual to the mainstream. It stirred up controversy by portraying the lives of working-class women and attacking the strait-laced, deeply religious society of mid-20th century Quebec. Career and impact The most profound and lasting effects of Tremblay's early plays, including ''Hosanna'' and ''La Duchesse de Langeais'', were the barriers they toppled in Quebec society. Until the Quiet Revolution of the early 1960s, Tremblay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
