The play has been a "work in progress" and was greeted with high praise during a 1992 production at the Centaur.

The story takes place in Pointe-Saint-Charles, a neighbourhood of Montréal that was one of Canada's first industrial slums.

Three families and the neighbourhood delivery boy sit on balconies in the heat of a Montréal summer, forced to listen to election promises in both languages from the broadcast truck a local politician who is running for re-election.

The play explores the socio-economic rumblings of this ethnic melting pot, including the ongoing French/English question as it was perceived at that time.

In 2005, a sequel play by Fennario, Condoville was staged by Montréal's Centaur Theater.
