An extended tour de force with no act or scene breaks, Marcel Pursued
by the Hounds examines how our "innocent" childhood games and fantasies
come back to haunt us in adult life, full of the dangers and realities
that were invisible to us as children
An extended dialogue between the characters Marcel (one of the main characters in Tremblay's novel, The First Quarter of the Moon) and Therese (one of the main characters in the novel Therese and Pierrette and the Little Hanging Angel), illuminated by a chorus of the fates, it is Michel Tremblay's toughest, most uncompromising play to date
A rich, emotional, sweeping drama of anger and sorrow spanning three generations
