Bolsheviki

Set in a Montreal bar on Remembrance Day, "Bolsheviki" has WWI veteran Harry "Rosie" Rollins recounting to a young reporter the horrors of trench warfare. Rosie's meandering monologue delivers a blistering de-glorification of war as it shifts back and forth between his wartime recollections and the present. The veteran's clattering, fast-paced description of life--and death--on the Front reproduces the chaotic sounds and rhythm of battle. Cast of one man.

Radical socialist and pacifist David Fennario is one of Quebec's most acclaimed anglophone playwrights.
