Why North? Whose North? Where North?
View through CrossRef
Drawing upon work presented at the 1999 ACTR meetings and situated within a decades-old debate about Canadian theatre, these four essays explore representations of the North in plays by southern and northern playwrights and theatre companies. The authors explore the history of Yukon's Nakai theatre, Quebec's "myth of the North," a popular play by a now forgotten prairie playwright, and images of the Inuit in plays by Inuit and non-Inuit.
