    PLOT:
    Act 1.
    We find ourselves in a Canadian prison in 1927. Bishop Jean Bilodeau has come to give a "dying" man his last rites, however, he finds an old acquaintance instead. The prisoner in question, Simon, confronts him with tales of days gone by and his fellow inmates aid him in telling his story, the story of when they were young - before Simon was imprisoned.
    We're taken back to Roberval, fifteen years prior and see young Simon and his close friend/lover Vallier de Tilly - an impoverished young French count who was left in Roberval by his father with his hopelessly romantic mother five years ago. They are sitting by the lake on a sunny afternoon, kissing. Simon goes back to the school early, but Vallier stays behind. He is confronted by young Jean Bilodeau, who's seen everything. He's seen them cuddle, kiss and he thinks it's wrong, disgusting and a sin. Vallier stands up to him and says it's nothing of the sort, it is love. Jean says he doesn't believe him, but Vallier reassures Jean that they are both in love. Vallier says he is sure Simon loves him too, because every time Simon gets upset, he doesn't know what to do with his love for Vallier and sets fire to one of the buildings in town. Vallier leaves and goes to join Simon back at school.
    Simon and Vallier are rehearsing a play about the life of Saint Sebastian with the school director, Father Saint Michel. Father Saint Michel feels unappreciated by the school and town, because no one agrees with his artistic and new ideas. Young Jean plays a part in the play and was supposed to be there as well, so Father Saint Michel gets upset that young Jean is late and goes to fetch him. In his absence, Vallier and Simon are making fun of the ridiculous play, start teasing each other and end up kissing. Vallier asks Simon to say he loves him, Simon starts listing things he loves about Vallier, but never actually says "I love you". They get interrupted by Bishop Jean Bilodeau who says he's had enough.
    Young Jean enters and confronts Simon.

    Cyd here in the USA. Stella Adler once said..."The actor has to develop his body. The actor has to work on his voice. But the most important thing the actor has to work on is his mind." You have wonderful instincts and a gigantic heart. They will never let you down. Much success in this production and "cheers" to many more. 🎭
