2011 Governor General’s Literary Award Winner


Congratulations to Erin Shields, winner of the 2011 Governor General’s Literary Award for her play If We Were Birds!

   If We Were Birds          

If We Were Birds is a bold and brilliant retelling of a classical myth. The language is poetic and contemporary. Erin Shields creates a haunting and viscerally impactful play about the sexual politics of war. She invites us into a world of complicated family relationships, dangerous sexuality, revenge and fierce loyalty.”

— GG jury citation
