Abstract
In an article published in Theatre History in Canada (1990), and in his introduction to The CTR Anthology, Alan Filewod has analysed “The Canon According to CTR”, usefully examining the ways in which CTR constructed, and subsequently deconstructed, “Canadian Theatre”, and particularly Canadian drama, throughout the 1970s and 80s. Filewod was concerned primarily to explore the selection and publication of playscripts in the journal, and the ways in which the discourse of CTR has shifted over the years and over its first three editorial “regimes”, as he calls them, to become increasingly pluralistic, concerning itself less with building a national theatrical identity and dramatic canon, and more with decentring that canon.
