Les beaux dimanches

In Another Beautiful Sunday (Les beaux dimanches), Québec playwright Marcel Dubé paints a portrait of society in the generation of the ensemble actors’ grandparents. It’s the story of the morning after a party in a well-to-do Montreal suburb one fine Sunday in 1965. While the play seems to merely show how a group of jaded couples spend their afternoon, it’s actually Dubé’s microcosm of an unanchored society, where hopeless people have given up changing the world in favour of just killing time.
