Bashir Lazhar written by Evelyne de la Chenelière (trans. by Morwyn Brebner), by Wishbone Theatre (Edmonton, Alberta), directed by Piet Defraeye. An immigrant substitute teacher in Montreal struggles for memory and truth when his unorthodox classroom methods draw him into explosive, unpredictable territory. Timely and deeply moving, Bashir Lazhar is an innovative staging of raw impulse and muted desire, penned by two of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights. Packed houses in Munich, Dresden, Innsbruck, Edmonton, Antwerp and Kiev! “Passionate. Inventive. Chilling.” (Edmonton Sun).
