That doesn’t surprise me at all. To me this is three different stories – the one played through the characters, the one that you cannot help going back to in your head if you recall Dec 6 1989, and the story between the lines.

The December Man
In 2007, Colleen Murphy won the Governor General's Literary Award in Drama for The December Man.(L'homme de décembre) This is a play based on the ripple effect of a public tragedy. One might think of L'école Polytechnique student Sarto Blais; still many more have suffered and continue to suffer from this historic tragedy.
"I believe what I believe. I believe you open a kid’s mouth and pour hate down their throat they’re gonna grow up hating everything - women, men, kids, even – Benoit Fournier, from The December Man.(L'homme de décembre)
There are such a ripple effect in this horribly timely piece. And since you wrote this, so many more of these types of campus shootings have occurred.
"Ah – there is always a story between the lines, and it just falls into place. When you get into a play with the characters, you have to go with the flow. You can’t sit back and analyse because then it takes you out of that place whatever that place is. You go inside the characters and they often bring an emotional and psychological layer with them."
"Yes [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there was a front page article in The New York Times about the "new normal" in terms of school lockdowns. I have a big problem with the fact that people do all of this lockdown stuff, but they never actually question it. Nobody asks the question of why. What’s going on with these young people, what’s going on inside them, their world, their society. Why is this happening? What’s going on in the family? Nobody ever ask these questions.

Part One - The December Man (L'homme de décembre)
How did you write The December Man? (L'homme de décembre).It's a little like Harold Pinter's Betrayal.
In this interview series [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], playwright / filmmaker Colleen Murphy speaks about the process of writing The December Man, (L'homme de décembre), about the alarming increase in campus shootings and why they continue to happen, plus her many works in progress, including an opera about sex trafficking and a full scale play set in Rome.
It’s hard writing backwards which I actually did. In fact, that made it both easier and harder. It’s a very emotional piece. It’s tough, not just emotionally, but technically and structurally as well. I remember spending a long time with lists trying to figure out when to go into the story – three months after, four months and then it would have to be how would I tell where I was, where they were, without saying anything and then the thing of Easter, of Christmas. I just remember that the technical angle was just as tough as the emotional one."
The December Man (L'homme de décembre) directed for Canadian Stage by Micheline Chevrier, is the story of what happens when a struggling working class couple from Montreal, Kathleen and Benoit Fournier, try to help son Jean deal with the aftermath of the Montreal Massacre. At the beginning of the play [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the last pebble is thrown. The first scene begins in March 1992, but the plays ends in December 1989.
