Following the critical and public success of her play 'Mama', Quebecois playwright and actress Nathalie Doummar is presenting a new theatrical work. Her latest project, as of early 2026, features a significant artistic shift: the cast is composed entirely of male actors.

Doummar's previous play, 'Mama', which premiered in 2022, explored themes of motherhood and family through a female-centric narrative. It was widely praised, winning the Prix de la critique in the Montreal theatre category in 2023.

While the full title and precise plot details of the new all-male play were not immediately verifiable in recent searches, the project represents a deliberate exploration of masculinity and male perspectives, a contrast to her earlier work. The development indicates Doummar's continued focus on intimate, character-driven stories rooted in complex social and familial dynamics.

The production is anticipated to premiere in Montreal, continuing Doummar's collaboration with the contemporary Quebec theatre scene. Further casting and performance dates are expected to be announced.
