Synopsis

Essay topics range from Hollywood's influence on the look of the contemporary Canadian "real," to the power and the pitfalls of a "realism of redress" in intercultural Canadian theatre, to the apparently oxymoronic notion of "devised" realism, to the complexities of Indigenous realism(s). Together, this book's writers suggest that Canada's theatrical realisms are fractious, multiple, difficult, yet rife with potential.
