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.Producer Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh.
