>> The love story no one ever told you.
>>
>>
>> In Michel Marc Bouchard's masterpiece Lilies, Father Saint-Michel  
>> states "...theatre should reach everyone. One can do anything in  
>> theatre, you know. One can reinvent life. One can be in love,  
>> jealous, insane, tyrannical or possessed. One can even lie and  
>> cheat. One can kill without feeling the slightest bit of remorse.  
>> One can die of love, of hate, of passion...one can conquer the  
>> unconquerable."
>>
>> Lyrical, erotic, and redemptive, Michel Marc Bouchard’s Lilies  
>> unfolds as a play-within-a-play that centers on an impassioned  
>> love between two young men at a Catholic boys’ school in rural  
>> Canada in 1912. As the story opens, Bishop Jean Bilodeau is  
>> summoned to a Québécois prison to hear the confession of Simon  
>> Doucet, a boyhood friend jailed for a murder he did not commit 40  
>> years earlier. But instead of the confession he expects to hear,  
>> Bilodeau is forced to watch a play re-enacted by Doucet’s  
>> prisonmates detailing the horrendous and shocking events that  
>> transpired in their teenage years. A tense drama of tangled  
>> emotions and unfulfilled longing, Lilies was adapted into a film  
>> by John Greyson that became an audience favorite at the 1996 San  
>> Francisco Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and won the Canadian Genie  
>> (equivalent to the American Academy Award) for best picture of 1996.
>>
>> This production marks the play’s Ohio premiere.
