Méthadone Bertrand follows Félix, a 26-year-old delivery person with no particular ambitions, who makes what should be a quick medication drop-off at the home of Madame Bertrand, a 74-year-old woman living alone with her cigarettes and her aches. What begins as an unremarkable errand becomes an unexpectedly extended and life-changing encounter.
Written by Vincent Paquette — a graduate of the Conservatoire d'art dramatique de Québec (2020), active as an actor, writer, and director — the play was inspired by a real-life experience and developed through La Licorne's emerging-author residency programme. The production returns to La Licorne following a highly praised premiere the previous season.
The show is part of La Licorne's 5 à 7 series, with performances Tuesday to Friday at 17:30.
