Dangerous Liaisons

By Christopher Hampton
Directed by Alexandre Marine
September 7-28, 2008

As overheard in various salons and bedrooms... Valmont: “I want the excitement of watching her betray everything that’s most important to her. I thought betrayal was your favourite word.” Merteuil: “No, no, cruelty. I always think that has a nobler ring to it.”

The Leanor and Alvin Segal Theatre kicks off a sizzling season of passion and seduction with Dangerous Liaisons, Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ 1782 French novel about lust, greed, deception and romance. Don’t miss what promises to be an exciting production, led by award-winning director, Alexandre Marine and featuring a handpicked, mostly Montreal cast of 16...From Left: Catherine de Sève (as La Marquise de Merteuil) and Brett Christopher (as Le Vicomte de Valmont) sizzle in Dangerous Liaisons. The photographer is Randy Cole.

The battle of the sexes; love and war: such age-old clichés take on a rapier-sharp glitter in Segal Centre’s debut theatre piece of the season: Dangerous Liaisons. It’s a dramatization of a novel by ex-soldier, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, first published seven years before the French revolution...

Oooo! at the Segal Centre Studio Theatre, September 13 – 21, 2008

SIDEMART Theatrical Grocery
Is thrilled to announce the English Language World Premiere of

Oooo!

by Gerard Vàzquez
translated by Elisabet Ràfols and Michael Bantjes
directed by Andrew Shaver
Oooo! is a touching and powerful comedy about the lives of a group of clowns in Nazi Germany. Charlie Rivel, the most tender of clowns, is forced to perform for Hitler, the most barbaric of dictators. Can art be guiltless? Does it have to submit to power? Can an artist remain apolitical in the midst of political chaos?...

NINE DAYS ONLY
SEPTEMBER 13 – 21, 2008
This dramatization is inspired by, and at least partially based on, historic fact. A troupe of clowns performing in Nazi Germany are graciously invited (read politely coerced) into entertaining the 'great' Führer, Adolf Hitler himself. The tight, focused dialogue sets the scene and immediately localizes the action in Berlin during the declining years of World War II...

Hurry! The current production of ‘The Wise Men of Chelm,’ in Yiddish, wraps up the summer theatre season at the Segal Centre for the Performing Arts. The performance is for everyone: as in previous Yiddish-speaking productions, instantaneous supertitles in French and English are provided overhead.

Meanwhile, as you’d expect, the backdrop to the story resembles the ever-constant ‘Shtetl’, but this time it’s situated on some mythic mountainside where God's angel mistakenly dropped a sackful of foolishness over the inhabitants of a remote town. It’s a tale in which Yiddish tradition finds ample scope for its classic self-deprecating humour; witness the term for dolt or bungler, the inverse hero or the ‘schlemiel...’
