An extended tour de force with no act or scene breaks, Marcel Pursued by the Hounds examines how our "innocent" childhood games and fantasies come back to haunt us in adult life, full of the dangers and realities that were invisible to us as children. An extended dialogue between the characters Marcel and Therese , illuminated by a chorus of the fates, it is Michel Tremblay's toughest, most uncompromising play to date.
