Give Voice: Ten Twenty Minute Plays from the Obsidian Theatre Company Playwrights Unit

edited by Rita Shelton Deverell

Divided into three sections—Families In Their Many Shapes and Colours; Relationships In Their Ups and Downs; and Social Issues, Too Tough to Ignore—Give Voice collects ten diverse twenty-minute plays created between 2006 and 2009 with the coaching, guidance, and support of Obsidian Theatre Company’s artistic director Philip Akin.

The plays in this volume range from theatre for young audiences to mature adult themes, contain cast sizes from two to five, and several have been produced and expanded into full-length works. Developed in an environment for exploration, vision, and freedom from the constraints of community or self-censorship, these short plays, in the many dialects of the Black voice, highlight the talent of some of Canada’s brightest emerging playwrights.
