BLISS
By Olivier Choinère
Translated by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Steven McCarthy

Céline Dion speaks through an Oracle to a group of cashiers at a Wal-Mart. She takes us on a journey from her triumphant farewell concert to the bedroom of her number one fan, who has spent most of her life chained to the bed by her family. Our insatiable appetite for celebrity is the topic of this darkly surrealistic play by Québécois dramatist Olivier Choinière. Buddies is thrilled to present the professional English Canadian premiere of this internationally acclaimed play, in a translation by Caryl Churchill. photo by Tanja-Tiziana
