Description
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 lifeon 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.
