The Guid Sisters

Work:: The Guid Sisters (S6088)

A big win and a night in, when the girls get together nothing's left to chance! Germaine Lauzon wins a million Green Shield stamps. Germaine is in for a windfall but the only way she can collect the money is to stick each stamp into a book. Calling upon her family, friends and neighbours to help, the play listens in as this formidable group of women talk about life, the world and the men in their lives.

Michael Tremblay

Production:: (T0628053785)

This "rich, raucous and gritty" Scots version by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman of Quebecois writer Michel Tremblay's play Les Belles -Soeurs was premiered at the Tron Theatre, Glasgow in 1989. Findlay went on to trans-create eight Tremblay plays, with co-translator, Martin Bowman. This successful partnership has made Tremblay one of the most performed international playwrights in Scotland. The Guid Sisters is not only regarded as a classic contemporary Scot's play but it is also timely theatrical portrayal of women grappling with economic survival.
