Abstract
In the spring of 2004, I had the opportunity to direct a student production of the play This Is for You, Anna at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta. The play was done in our black box theatre with seating for about 200, as part of Theatrextra, a “second season” of plays intended to offer smaller or more “experimental” shows. In this article, I will consider how the play attempts to re-enact the circumstances and context of a real-life crime in a non-realistic, yet evocative, manner. I will also consider the fact that to perform This Is for You, Anna is, to an unusual degree, to re-enact the history of the play’s creation through collective process. Finally, I will comment on the effectiveness of enactment as a tool of feminist pedagogy with student actors.
