Lilies

by Michel Marc Bouchard,

English translation by Linda Gaboriau

Wild Oats Productions present the UK Premiere and 20th anniversary production of Michel Marc Bouchard's Lilies or the Revival of a Romantic Drama.

Lilies is a passionate and intriguing piece that tells an engrossing, enlightening and incredibly moving story. Simon Doucet, a prisoner for nearly thirty years, invites his old friend Bishop Jean Bilodeau to visit him.

What the good Bishop does not know is that Simon has planned a special theatrical event in the hope of enticing out of the bishop the events of a warm Autumn evening in 1912. Simon must know what happened in "those minutes that cost me the last thirty years of my life."

Bouchard is considered one of Canada's greatest living playwrights and Lilies is his best known work. It has been translated into many languages and won both the Dora Mavor Moore Award and the Chalmers Award for Best Play in 1991. In 1996 it was turned into a successful film which was an audience favourite at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and won the Canadian Genie Award for Best Film.
