McGill Society of Montreal presents "Piaf: Love Conquers All"

The McGill Alumni Association is pleased to invite alumni to attend a Montreal production of the Off- Broadway Hit : PIAF: LOVE CONQUERS ALL, a one woman musical drama with 13 French songs originally performed by Edith Piaf.

By Roger Peace

With Naomi Emmerson as Edith Piaf

And John Gilbert on piano

Presented by Tone Poet Productions

Associate directed and produced by McGill graduate Adam Blanshay, BA'04, Piaf: Love Conquers All presents the life and loves of the remarkable French singer who stood only 4'10". Born in 1915 in the streets of Paris in abject poverty, she rose to international stardom. Her voice is unique and her music reaches through generations and across oceans.

Though extremely successful, she struggled with morphine addiction and alcohol abuse. Rheumatism crippled her health, but she never stopped singing. Through Peace's intimate and touching script Naomi Emmerson, as Piaf, invites the audience to share a cocktail while she shares anecdotes of her passion for men, music and morphine. Some of Piaf's most famous songs "La Vie En Rose", "Milord", "Non, Je ne Regrette Rien" - are presented in French and are beautifully supported by live acoustic piano and accordion.

"Emmerson is a revelation...Hypnotic."
