TRUDEAU STORIES
Written & Performed by Brooke Johnson
Directed by Allyson McMackon
A remarkable story of a surprising friendship, this solo show has been affecting and wowing audiences and critics across the country. In 1985, while she was a student at the National Theatre School in Montreal, Brooke Johnson became friends with Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Through reminiscences, journal entries and correspondence, Brooke gives us a personal insight into the man and the times that is “not to be missed” (National Post). At once vital and charming; poignant and very funny, Trudeau Stories is about friendship and loss… and about who the heck we think we are.
