Backyard Theatre
1973 30mDocumentary, Short
'Backyard Theatre' is a documentary about playwright Michel Tremblay and director André Brassard's flavourful brand of Quebec theatre, which captured the earthy wit and joual (slang) of Montreal's East End working-class neighbourhood. The film features impromptu improvisation by the cast of 'Les belles-soeurs' and 'Demain matin, Montréal m'attend', two genre-defining plays.
