Starting January 11, 2010, Porte Parole presents the last chapter in the story of the collapse of the Concorde overpass. Sexy bˆ©ton III: Abandon reveals the inner struggle of ordinary individuals who shoulder the enormous burden of a potential fight against the government. In the ongoing investigation of actors Brett and Maude, there are some final surprises, including a lead from none other than the former premier of Quebec.

Porte Parole is delighted to welcome Pierre Collin to the cast of Sexy bˆ©ton III. Mr. Collin plays, among other roles, the now-retired designer of de la Concorde overpass. Pierre Collin is known to audiences for his performances in numerous plays, as well as the films, La Grande Sˆ©duction and, more recently, De pˆ®re en flic.

’Äú’ĶMontreal-specific bilingual theatre that not only flirts with journalism, but seeks to usurp it.’Äù
Pat Donnelly, The Montreal Gazette

’Äú’Ķthe good citizens of Montreal would be wise (and well entertained) to see this play.’Äù
Anna Fuerstenberg, Rover Arts.

Sexy bˆ©ton III marks the directorial debut of theatre veteran Sophie Vajda (Andromaque, Lorenzaccio, Les 7 jours de Simon Labross), with the ensemble cast of Pierre Collin, Alex Ivanovici, Maude Laurendeau-Mondoux, France Rolland, Paul Stewart, & Brett Watson.
