Hosanna is a 1973 play by French-Canadian writer Michel Tremblay.
The story takes place in Montreal, Quebec and centres around the relationship between Hosanna, a drag queen dressed as Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra, and Cuirette, an aging "stud" and homosexual biker. This play takes place in Hosanna's apartment, "somewhere in the Plaza Saint-Hubert," after she and Cuirette have returned from a Halloween party.[1]
The play deals with several issues including gender identity, sexual identity, the ignorance and acceptance of aging, and social expressions of homosexuality. Hosanna discusses the relationship with his mother and shows his anxieties over her knowledge of who he really is.
The play was translated into English by John Van Burek & Bill Glassco.
