5.0 out of 5 stars How strong the words resonates!, March 31, 2000
This review is from: Lilies (Paperback)
This is a translation of the original play for the highly acclaimed John Greysonfs film, gLiliesh, a revenge story realized by the force of the theater. A play in the play reveals Catholic bishopfs long forgotten memory of youth, his repressed homosexual love for a friend, jealousy for the friendfs lover. In the midst of the hostility of villagers the passionate love between two young lovers lead them into a double suicide. And furious young bishop saved only his friend, and testified friendf s murdering his lover that sentenced him of the long imprisonment.

Jealousy, revenge, self sacrifice for the ultimate love, they all are the elements construct an old fashioned romantic play. But the words are so powerful and provide tremendously beautiful images. And the theatrical devices make this play to be a strong work. This is the play where all roles including women are played only by men. This is the tragedy in the form of comedy. This is the theater in theater in theater play, The frame story tells the revenge between old men, main story is the love triangle between young men, the most inner story is the literally romantic play, "The Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian" written by Italian author, Gabriele D'Annunzio. M. Bouchard recites lines express severe Christianity of D'Annunziofs play as the sincere confession of gay lovers that signify young lovers to be martyrs of love. And this multi-layered structure and perverted recitation make this play a philosophy of the theater itself.

This play is really a tour de force, and M. Bouchard has revived the romantic drama.
