Maggie and Pierre
T02038719876
In 2015, Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister of Canada in a landslide election victory. Maggie and Pierre is the story of his parents... It's the late 1960s. 19 year old Maggie Sinclair is a hippie free spirit, born out of love, socialism and a lot of dope. Pierre Trudeau is nearing 50, urbane, charismatic and soon-to-be elected as Prime Minister of Canada. Reason and passion soon collide as they meet, fall in love, marry, live together in the public spotlight, have three children, and break up in a very ugly and very public way. A Canadian classic, Maggie and Pierre is a tour de force one-woman play about the pressures of power and fame under the media spotlight. Maggie and Pierre quickly became a Canadian classic after its world premiere in 1980 at Toronto's Theatre Passe Muraille. It went on to tour extensively throughout Canada including the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto, was presented Off-Broadway in New York City, and filmed as a television movie.
