{"product_id":"9780889221222","title":"Les Canadiens","description":"\u003ci\u003eLes Canadiens\u003c\/i\u003e begins on the Plains of Abraham in 1759 when a French-Canadian soldier throws his rifle to his son and it becomes a hockey stick. It ends in the Montreal Forum on the night of November 15, 1976, when Montreal Canadien fans turn a hockey game into an election victory rally for the indépendantiste Parti Québécois. In between, it is a play about Quebec and Canada using hockey as a metaphor—and a play about hockey using Quebec and Canada as its setting. \u003ci\u003eLes Canadiens\u003c\/i\u003e was commissioned by and first performed at Centaur Theatre in Montreal in February, 1977. The book contains a preface by Ken Dryden, former goalie for the Montreal Canadiens, and an introduction on hockey, politics and theatre by Rick Salutin.","brand":"Talonbooks, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033745572080,"sku":"9780889221222","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889221222_p0.jpg?v=1763853097","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889221222","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
