Abstract

With this unique two-volume anthology, Louise H. Forsyth offers the English Canadian reader a glimpse of theatre in Quebec, written, starring and produced by women. By creating a space for the transformative voices of Quebec women playwrights within an English-language setting, Forsyth has opened the door for an intercultural encounter between two theatre traditions that don’t often have a chance for dialogue and exchange. The anthology also documents some of the intercultural happenings within Quebec theatre, first with a 努women’s culture” taking its place onstage and secondly, in volume two, with immigrant and First Nation stories making themselves heard. The collection invites readers to engage with a realm of theatre unfamiliar to them and takes the first step towards putting these plays on English Canadian stages.
