Abstract
This volume, subtitled "Feminist Drama," is the latest in the series initiated by Neil Carson. The two plays included here represent the feminist drama specifically as envisioned and made possible by Toronto's Nightwood Theatre. Rita Much's brief historical essay on the founding and development of Nightwood offers a fair and balanced overview of the only explicitly feminist theatre "institution" in Canada. The biographies of the authors and the editor at the end of the volume also provide useful background information. I'm not sure that the institutional memory that these women, Vingoe and Rubess especially, have of both contemporary Canada's feminist theatre and women in Canadian theatre generally is sufficiently appreciated in either the theatre or academic communities.
