The Guid Sisters

The Guid Sisters is a translation of Tremblay’s classic, Les Belles-Soeurs, into modern Scots. This play has been translated before, but only into a pallid approximation of the original joual. But Scots is an energetic and earthy vernacular with a distinctive sound system equal to joual. The play, a landmark in Canadian theatre, can now be truly appreciated in this superb translation, just as audiences in Glasgow and Moscow have learned to laugh with these ladies.
