Past Lives: Performing Canada’s Histories

This anthology represents a wide range of literary and performance practices-ranging from poetic tragedy, to radio drama, to Indigenous satire-and, because of its broad generic and historical scope, also serves as an excellent survey of Canadian dramatic literature from Confederation to the present.

Includes:

Tecumseh by Charles Mair

The Birth of Montreal by Amy Redpath Roddick

Alexander Mackenzie by Merrill Denison

At My Heart’s Core by Robertson Davies

The Komagata Maru Incident by Sharon Pollock

Angelique by Lorena Gale
