It was from a friend in Montréal's Lebanese community that Marie-Claude
Harvey learned the story of George and Charles Farhood. Few people knew
the history of their neighbourhood theatre, the ancestor of the Théâtre
du RideauVert which stands on the same site today. This theatre is a monument
of the Québécois culture, founded by Lebanese immigrants.
In Opening Night, Marie-Claude Harvey brings to light the discovery
of this hidden history.
