Sharon Pollock Collected Works, Volume Three
edited by Cynthia Zimmerman
Sharon Pollock is Canada’s
best-known woman playwright. Produced nationally and internationally,
author of a large and varied canon, she has had a long and illustrious
career in the theatre. From backstage to onstage, from front of house
to director’s chair, from actor to author, from teacher and mentor
to artistic director of venues both large and small, Sharon Pollock
remains an active, controversial and prolific participant in the Canadian
theatre scene.
“The truth is, one never
really knows, in the making of theatre. If we knew we wouldn’t produce
plays no one wants to see, or at least most of us wouldn’t. We wouldn’t
make choices that don’t work in plays that people do want to see.
All seasons would be successful. I find that a deadly thought.
The
vitality of theatre lies in our taking chances, in going to the edge
of the cliff, in jumping over the edge, and sometimes – flying. That
vitality does not lie in running back and forth along the edge of the
cliff. The possibility of successful flight is only tested by jumping
off the cliff.”
—Sharon Pollock
