Summary
Montreal playwright Fennario presents the lives of people in the poor area of Pointe Saint-Charles. Three families, French and English, and Thibeault, the neighbourhood rummy, sit on their balconies and deal with unemployment, an election, and the losing Expos baseball… team. Poverty, domestic problems and French-English relations are explored with humour as the characters endure a hot summer in the late 1970's. With French and English dialogue. Strong language.
