Canada and the Theatre of War, Volume I
selected and edited by Donna Coates and Sherrill Grace
About the world of live theatre
and dramatic literature, Canada and the Theatre of War is a collection
of stage plays by some of Canada's leading playwrights.
"forgiveness and reconciliation,
is what gives these plays their significance: regardless of their setting
in home fronts, hospitals, dreamscapes, train stations, or psychological
No Man's Lands, they address timeless issues of memory, history, trauma,
and identity. Above all, these plays remind us of the ease with which
conflict permeates national and cultural boundaries and the terrible
persistence of ghosts. These plays are examples of a different kind
of theatre because they take the theatre seriously and use the stages
of live performance to show us who we were and might still be."
