This volume signposts ways of gaining an insight into contemporary Canadian drama. It contains twelve essays on various English-Canadian plays which were written over the past fifteen years and thus allow glimpses of recent trends and developments. The first essay briefly surveys the current state of Canadian theatre. Some articles overlap so that they also lend themselves to contrastive approaches to the plays discussed. The volume may as well serve as a course book for students of Canadian drama. Additional information and suggestions for classroom work at both school and university levels are provided in the appendix.
