Anthology of Quebec Women's Plays In English Translation Vol. 2, 1987-2003

edited by Louise H. Forsyth

Louise H. Forsyth brings to English Canada some of the best plays by women that Quebec has to offer, in translation from the original French. Covering a diverse range of subject matter, many of these plays are being published in English for the first time.

“In all these plays, the longing for personal fulfillment, warm human relationships and the ability to love, for meaning, discovery, strength to determine the path of one’s own life, passion and bliss is present.

Collectively, they show the new theatrical experimentation and adventures being undertaken by playwrights continuing to write for the stage and by new playwrights building on the gains made in earlier decades by feminist women of theatre and by theatre in Québec as a whole. They are artistically exciting and thematically rich.”
