Judith Thompson: Late 20th Century Plays
by Judith Thompson
with an introduction by Ric Knowles
By the end of last century, one of Canada’s leading
female playwrights had written, produced and published seven
important and successful plays, all of which continue to be
in demand both on stages and in academic courses.
The Crackwalker
White Biting Dog
Pink
I Am Yours
Lion in the Streets
Sled
Perfect Pie
“Judith Thompson hears the poetry of the inarticulate
and the semi-literate, embodying the colloquialisms, the brand
names, the fractured but expressive syntax, with the urgency
of their speakers. She frees her words to carry their wild,
unruly, seeking spirits. These characters do terrible things,
and they have terrible things done to them.”
—Urjo Kareda, Former Artistic Director, Tarragon Theatre
