Enter "The Real World?"

The Real World? is an early masterpiece from Michel Tremblay, one of Canada’s greatest living playwrights. Tarragon revives this Canadian classic nearly 25 years after it premiered it in English in 1988 with a powerhouse cast: Matthew Edison, Cara Gee, Sophie Goulet, Tony Nappo, Cliff Saunders, Jane Spidell & Meg Tilly.

The mother of a precocious young playwright takes issue with his latest play: not only does it put private family matters centre stage, it liberally blends fiction with truth. A play within a play, The Real World? remains a groundbreaking work about art, autobiography and authority.

The Real World? is at Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre, playing through June 3, 2012.
