Marie Brassard

Marie Brassard is far more than an actor. A Media Release from the Sydney Opera House Studio Theatre said this about her creation, Jimmy: “An extraordinary solo performance about love, desire and the creative process. Created by French Canadian actor Marie Brassard, Jimmy has been widely acclaimed as one of the most powerful North American works produced in recent years. Jimmy transcends both sex and sexual orientation to reveal the core of humanity in each of us. Jimmy is a remarkable solo performance that has earned its writer, director and performer, Marie Brassard worldwide recognition.” Of her play La Noirceur, in which she also performed, The Gazette wrote, “Marie Brassard could be reading the phone book and still enthrall an audience.”
